Araghchi’s visit is expected to further strengthen the existing ties and enhance cooperation between the two countries. On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told the Iranian state-run Press TV that Foreign Minister Araghchi plans to visit Pakistan and India as part of Tehran’s ongoing consultations with regional countries. Their talks will focus on enhancing bilateral relations and addressing the latest developments at the regional and international levels, he added.
Baghaei also confirmed that the top Iranian diplomat will pay an official visit to India later in the week.
The Iranian foreign minister’s visit comes amid tensions between Pakistan and India following the Pahalgam terror attack.
Terrorists killed 26 people in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, in the deadliest attack in the Valley since the Pulwama strike in 2019.
Araghchi had condemned the Pahalgam attack “strongly and unequivocally”. PTI SH NSA NSA NSA
