Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met with Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni in Tehran on Monday, state media in Pakistan reported.
The CDF and interior minister reached Tehran on Monday, Iranian media reported, after Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) described the visit “as part of Pakistan’s efforts to promote regional peace and stability”.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said that the visit undertaken by CDF Munir and Naqvi was taking place as bilateral ties between Islamabad and Tehran “reach one of their strongest stages”, state broadcaster IRIB reported.
Baqaei added that the Pakistani delegation’s visit was unrelated to the visit of Oman’s foreign minister, who is expected to arrive today. He noted that “both visits will address regional security issues”.
