This indicated the Iranian foreign minister’s first official engagement after arriving in the Pakistani capital, signaling the importance both countries attach to bilateral relations and regional cooperation.
In this regard, the senior Pakistani officials were also present during the discussions, including Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and other members of the government.
