Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has concluded his two-day visit to Iran and departed for Azerbaijan.
At Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghaddam, Pakistani Ambassador to Iran Mudassir Tipu, and senior diplomatic officials bid farewell to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Pakistani delegation.
During his visit, the Prime Minister held meetings with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and Iranian President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian.
The discussions focused on enhancing Pakistan-Iran relations, particularly in trade and regional connectivity.
The leaders also discussed regional issues and appreciated Iran’s efforts for peace in the region amid the conflict imposed on Pakistan by India.
The meetings further emphasized strengthening strategic ties between the two countries and the need for an immediate cessation of Zionist atrocities in Gaza and a sustainable ceasefire.
The Prime Minister will now visit Azerbaijan at the invitation of the Azerbaijani President after concluding his bilateral visit to Iran.
This visit marks the third leg of the Prime Minister’s four-nation tour, following Turkey and Iran, and preceding a visit to Tajikistan.
