Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is visiting Iran to discuss regional security and stability, the foreign office confirmed Wednesday, as Islamabad seeks to help resolve the Middle East war.
Naqvi, previously involved in mediation efforts between Iran and the U.S., is known to be close to the powerful head of the Pakistani military, Asim Munir.
Iranian state news agency IRNA reported late Tuesday that Naqvi met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.
"He is discussing bilateral relations, security, regional security and stability, and constructive engagement amongst the parties in the region and regional developments," Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi told reporters in Islamabad.
The Iranian government's website said Naqvi conveyed to Pezeshkian "a message from the Pakistani prime minister and the chief of the army," without specifying its content.
