Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Islamabad on Tuesday.

Pezeshkian is on an official visit to Pakistan at Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s invitation.

The two Iranian leaders arrived in Islamabad in separate planes. Pezeshkian flew to the federal capital from Iran while Araghchi’s last engagement was in Oman.

Iran’s semi-official IRNA news agency reported that Araghchi was received by Iran’s envoy to Islamabad, Reza Amiri Moghaddam, along with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and other senior Pakistani officials.
