ISLAMABAD: Diplomatic insiders reveal that President Pezeshkian is set to hold important discussions with Pakistani leaders, including President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during his time in Islamabad. The agenda is expected to include bolstering bilateral ties, enhancing trade and economic collaboration, and exchanging views on regional security issues and other mutual interests.
Preparations for the visit are nearing completion.
