During a meeting with Pakistani Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi on Wednesday, Pezeshkian and Naqvi discussed the latest regional developments, bilateral relations, and the status of diplomatic consultations linked to the ongoing indirect talks between Iran and the United States.
The two sides stressed the necessity of continuing political consultations and strengthening regional cooperation while reviewing developments related to the negotiation process, diplomatic initiatives, and ways to help promote regional stability and security.
Pezeshkian praised Pakistan’s “positions, support and efforts” in backing regional stability, security, and cooperation, and emphasized the importance of expanding bilateral ties and maintaining political coordination between Tehran and Islamabad.
Referring to the “deep historical, cultural and religious bonds” between the two neighboring countries, the Iranian president said broader cooperation in political, economic, border, and security fields would serve the shared interests of both nations and contribute to regional stability.
Naqvi, for his part, conveyed the messages and views of Pakistani officials regarding ongoing regional developments and “the importance of continuing the path of dialogue and mutual understanding.”
The US and Israel launched a war of aggression against Iran on February 28 with air raids that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders and targeted civilian infrastructure, residential areas, educational institutes, and historical and cultural sites.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces unleashed 100 waves of successful strikes against sensitive and strategic American and Israeli targets throughout the region.
On April 8, after 40 days of US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, Tehran and Washington reached a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, followed by inconclusive negotiations to permanently end the war.
