Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will make an official visit to Pakistan on Tuesday (April 22), according to an announcement from the Iranian president's office. The visit comes as the two countries intensify high-level dialogue.
During his itinerary, Pezeshkian is expected to hold talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and meet other senior officials. Discussions will focus on expanding economic, trade, energy, and regional security ties.
This will be Pezeshkian's first visit to Pakistan since taking office. The two nations have long-standing diplomatic relations and have recently taken steps to boost cooperation in oil, gas, and infrastructure connectivity.
Observers note the visit occurs amid rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly following recent conflicts. Both Pakistan and Iran have expressed interest in stabilizing the situation in Afghanistan and cooperating on counterterrorism.
