Iranian President to Arrive in Pakistan for One-Day Tour

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to arrive in Pakistan on Tuesday for a one-day official visit.

According to the available details, Pezeshkian is expected to meet President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other senior officials during the visit.

During the visit, the Iranian president is expected to discuss bilateral ties, trade, regional developments and other matters of mutual interest with Pakistani authorities.

The expected visit follows the conclusion of the Lake Lucerne Summit, after which Pakistan and Qatar issued a joint statement on the first high-level committee meeting held with the participation of the United States and Iran.

According to the statement, the first round of high-level talks under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) concluded in Burgenstock, Switzerland, with representatives from Iran, the United States, Pakistan and Qatar taking part.

The statement said the talks were held in a positive and constructive atmosphere and resulted in encouraging progress, including the creation of a mechanism for further technical discussions.

Under the agreed framework, the parties decided to establish a High Level Committee to provide political oversight to the mediation process. Chief negotiators will report regularly to the committee and lead working groups on nuclear issues, sanctions, and monitoring and dispute resolution, along with other related matters.

The committee has also agreed on a 60-day roadmap aimed at reaching a final deal, while technical talks are set to continue through the rest of the week.

A communication line has also been established to prevent incidents and miscommunication, particularly to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

In addition, the parties agreed to form a de-confliction cell involving Lebanon, facilitated by the mediators, to support the termination of military operations there under the memorandum.
