President Pezeshkian to visit Pakistan for high-level talks

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian will travel to Pakistan for consultations and discussions with Pakistani officials, his office announced.

Habibollah Abbasi, director of the public relations of the presidential office, said on Monday that Pezeshkian is scheduled to depart Tehran for Islamabad on Tuesday for the official visit.

He added that the key objectives of Pezeshkian’s trip include expressing gratitude to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for his mediation efforts between Iran and the United States, which led to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two sides.

The continuation of consultations between the two countries at the highest level, fostering bilateral cooperation, and following up on previous economic cooperation agreements are among other issues on the agenda of the visit.

Last week, the Iranian and American presidents remotely signed the 14-point Islamabad MoU, which brings about a permanent end to the illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
