ISLAMABAD: Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni is expected to arrive in Islamabad on Monday for an official visit aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation, a Pakistani interior ministry official said.
Momeni will lead a high-level delegation and hold talks with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and other senior Pakistani leaders, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The visit comes as Pakistan continues diplomatic engagement with Iran amid heightened regional tensions following renewed hostilities between Tehran and Washington.
Pakistan has repeatedly called for restraint and maintained that dialogue remains the only path to preventing a wider regional conflict.
Officials from Pakistan and Iran are expected to discuss border security, counterterrorism cooperation, immigration, and measures to boost cross-border trade.
The visit also underscores growing engagement between the two neighboring countries. Momeni and Naqvi have held several meetings in recent months to enhance coordination along the Pakistan-Iran border.
Pakistan shares a long border with Iran and has sought to deepen cooperation on security and trade while maintaining balanced relations with regional partners.
The visit also comes as Pakistan continues to support diplomatic efforts aimed at easing tensions between Iran and the United States, while urging all sides to pursue dialogue over confrontation.
