PM meets Iranian president in Tehran

Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif arrives at Saadabad Palace in Tehran to meet with the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian

Upon arrival at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, the Iranian Interior Minister, Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Iran, and senior diplomatic officials welcomed the Prime Minister and the delegation.

During the visit, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Field Marshal Asim Munir are included in the delegation.

The prime minister was presented Gaud of Honor at Saadabad place.

The Prime Minister, along with the delegation, will meet with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei, where bilateral matters as well as important regional issues will be discussed.

Earlier, Prime Minister was arrived in Istanbul, Turkiye, on Sunday, marking the start of his four-nation regional tour.

The visit was aimed at thanking friendly countries for their support during the recent Pakistan-India conflict.

The Prime Minister was warmly received by Turkish National Defence Minister Yasar Guler at the airport. He is accompanied by a high-level delegation including Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, and Special Assistant Tariq Fatemi.

According to the PM Office, the visit will include wide-ranging discussions on bilateral relations, regional issues, and international matters. PM Shehbaz will also attend the International Conference on Glaciers in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, from May 29 to 30.

The tour follows tensions between Pakistan and India after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian-occupied Kashmir, where 26 tourists were killed. India blamed Pakistan without evidence, leading to cross-border strikes. The conflict de-escalated after U.S. intervention, according to President Donald Trump.
