Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's Foreign Affairs Minister, has arrived in Islamabad to hold bilateral talks with Pakistani officials on regional issues.
The visit is seen as an opportune moment for both nations to focus on regional connectivity, energy cooperation, and enhancing economic and investment partnerships.
Afghanistan holds a vital place in the agenda. Experts have underscored the importance for Iran and Pakistan to establish a common viewpoint concerning the war torn nation, ensuring the preservation of Tehran and Islamabad's interests.
Since the Taliban's ascent to power in Afghanistan, the activities of the terrorist group Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan have escalated, leading to security concerns in Pakistan. As such, resolving the Afghanistan issue remains a top priority for Islamabad.
Iran's concerns regarding Afghanistan are equally significant due to the shared border and water resources. Experts believe that reaching a unified approach on Afghanistan's issues will be instrumental in addressing the challenges that both Iran and Pakistan have faced in recent years, including hosting Afghan immigrants.
In an official statement, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed that Amir-Abdollahian will meet with the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He is also scheduled to address the speaker of the National Assembly and the chairman of the senate.
