Naqvi to visit Iran on Saturday as part of US-Iran mediation, Pakistani sources say

Both examine the prevailing security environment in the country and the measures taken to maintain peace and stability.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday gave advice to Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi ahead of the latter’s upcoming visit to Iran, as Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts to achieve peace between Tehran and Washington continue.

The Interior Minister met the Prime Minister in Lahore to discuss his upcoming trip and other issues.

“Consultations were also held between the Prime Minister and the Interior Minister regarding the Interior Minister’s upcoming visit to Tehran. The Prime Minister provided guidance regarding the visit,” said a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.

The Interior Minister also briefed the Prime Minister on his important commitments held on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization conference in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.

They further reviewed in detail the security environment prevailing in the country and the measures taken to maintain peace and stability, as well as the general law and order situation.

Naqvi briefed the Prime Minister on the measures being implemented to ensure law and order and protect citizens across the country.

Prime Minister Shehbaz stressed the importance of close coordination among all relevant institutions and called for a unified strategy to further strengthen law and order and enhance national security.

The Prime Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to maintaining peace, protecting citizens and ensuring effective cooperation among all security and law enforcement agencies.

Pakistani sources had earlier said Anadolu that Naqvi was to meet with senior Iranian officials to discuss “some new proposals” aimed at reaching a temporary agreement between Tehran and Washington to break the current impasse.

He would also discuss restarting a second round of talks between the parties to end the conflict, they added.

Semi-official Iranian news agency More also reported that Naqvi would visit the country to hold talks as part of the ongoing mediation efforts in Islamabad.

The visit comes as Naqvi and his Iranian counterpart, Eskandar Momeni, met in Bishkek on Friday.

Naqvi has been directly involved in negotiations with Tehran as Pakistan plays a mediating role for a possible deal between the United States and Iran to permanently end the war, which began on February 28.
