Iran's President and Foreign Minister arrive in Pakistan after US talks

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan.

The Iranian delegation was welcomed by Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and several ministers.

The visit comes a day after Pakistan and Qatar said the round of US-Iran talks in Switzerland over the weekend was productive.

“Pakistan and Iran share strong brotherly ties, deeply rooted in history, faith, and culture,” a statement from Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. “The leadership and people of Pakistan extend a warm welcome to Foreign Minister Araghchi and the Iranian delegation to Islamabad.”
