The Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, will undertake a day visit on Monday in Pakistan, confirmed sources.
The Iranian Foreign Minister will be accompanied by a high -level delegation, with meetings provided in Islamabad, including a key session with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, Ishaq Dar.
According to diplomatic sources, discussions will focus on bilateral links between Pakistan and Iran as well as on the current regional situation, in particular in the context of recent Pakistani-Indian tensions.
Following the conclusion of meetings in Islamabad, the Iranian delegation should leave for India on Tuesday as part of regional diplomatic awareness.
