The visit comes shortly after Naqvi held two meetings with his Iranian counterpart Eskandar Momeni on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) interior ministers' meeting in Kyrgyzstan.
A source close to the Pakistani minister said he returned to Lahore after the gathering and was scheduled to depart for Tehran from the eastern Pakistani city.
Naqvi has visited Iran several times this year, including trips in April and late May, when he met President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Interior Minister Momeni.
The exchanges are part of intensified diplomacy that began after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif proposed a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States in April 2026, with Islamabad assuming a mediating role.
Subsequent talks between Iranian and US delegations in Islamabad ended without an agreement after 21 hours of negotiations. Since then, senior Pakistani officials, including Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, have made repeated visits to Tehran.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei recently said the two sides are in the final stages of drafting a memorandum of understanding focused on ending the conflict.
