Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian arrived in Pakistan on Tuesday for a one-day state visit, accompanied by senior ministers and officials. The trip follows recent US-Iran peace discussions mediated by Pakistan and is viewed as a significant step in strengthening bilateral ties. Islamabad has imposed traffic restrictions and work-from-home directives in the Red Zone during the visit. Pezeshkian is scheduled to meet Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

The visit comes after the February joint US-Israel attack on Iran, which triggered weeks of conflict. Pakistan played a key mediating role that led to the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding” earlier this month, paving the way for high-level US-Iran talks in Switzerland. Both sides are expected to discuss trade, energy cooperation, border security, and regional connectivity.

According to official statements, the visit provides an opportunity to review all aspects of bilateral relations and advance cooperation in economic and security fields. It also reinforces Pakistan’s growing diplomatic role in regional stability and conflict resolution.
