Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is scheduled to arrive in Islamabad on Tuesday to discuss greater cooperation in security, trade and other areas, in the latest sign of closer ties between the countries following the US-Iran truce that Pakistan helped mediate.
Pezeshkian is set to meet with his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari, as well as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan’s foreign minister and speaker of the national assembly. It will be Pezeshkian’s second visit to Islamabad as president, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry.
