ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar will lead the Pakistan delegation at the inauguration ceremony of the President-elect of Iran, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, to be held on Tuesday in Tehran, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated.
The visit attests to the commitment of the two countries to strengthen leadership-level engagement and bilateral cooperation.
Earlier on July 9, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif held a telephone conversation with Dr Massoud Pezeshkian and congratulated him on his victory in the recent Presidential elections.
Emphasizing deep-rooted ties between Pakistan and Iran, PM Shehbaz highlighted their shared history, faith, culture, and traditions, which bind the two brotherly neighboring countries together.
Wishing the Iranian president-elect a successful tenure, PM Shehbaz had expressed his eagerness to work closely with him to further strengthen Pakistan-Iran relations and enhance bilateral cooperation in various fields, including trade, energy, and regional security.
He noted that the decisions made during the historic visit of the late President Ebrahim Raisi to Pakistan in April had laid a strong foundation for a mutually beneficial cooperative partnership between the two countries.
Dr Pezeshkian thanked the prime minister and expressed his desire to deepen ties between the two nations. The leaders also discussed regional issues and agreed to maintain close coordination and consultation.
