Pakistan, Iran interior ministers discuss de-escalation amid renewed regional tensions
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met his Iranian counterpart Eskandar Momeni on the sidelines of a regional security gathering in Kyrgyzstan, with the two sides discussing efforts to reduce tensions in the Middle East following a fresh escalation amid efforts for peace between Washington and Tehran, Pakistan’s interior ministry said on Friday.
The meeting comes a day after Pakistan condemned Iranian drone and missile attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, warning that renewed hostilities were undermining diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving tensions between the United States and Iran.
Naqvi and Momeni met in Bishkek during a meeting of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) ministers responsible for internal affairs and public security.
“Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held an important meeting with Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni,” the ministry said in a brief statement.
