Araghchi and the accompanying delegation were seen off by Pakistani officials as well as Iranian Ambassador to Islamabad, Reza Amiri Moghadam.
The top diplomat arrived in the Pakistani capital last night and held his first working meeting with Field Marshal Asim Munir, Commander of the Pakistani Army.
Earlier today, Araghchi also met with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, with focus of the discussion being bilateral relations, current regional developments, including Islamabad's diplomatic efforts in the wake of the US-Israeli imposed war on Iran.
Sharif expressed his pleasure at his meeting with Araghchi in message posted on his X media network, saying the two sides had a very warm and sincere exchange of views on the current situation in the region.
He further wrote that the issues of common interest, including boosting relations between Pakistan and Iran were discussed at the meeting.
For his part, Araghchi underscored Pakistan’s special place in Iran’s foreign policy and reiterated Tehran’s resolve to further develop relations between the two countries.
The Iranian foreign minister also expressed appreciation for the efforts of senior Pakistani officials in working to end the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, as well as their role in facilitating a ceasefire and hosting negotiations.
Araghchi outlined Iran’s principled positions regarding the latest developments related to the ceasefire and the complete cessation of the imposed war.
He further referred to the continued crimes committed by the Israeli regime in the occupied Palestinian territories and its repeated violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, while appreciating the stances of the Pakistani government and people in supporting the Palestinian nation and Islamabad’s efforts to implement the ceasefire understanding in Lebanon.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar also attended the meeting.
The Iranian foreign minister arrived in Pakistani capital of Islamabad late Friday on a mission to communicate Iran's views and concerns regarding the end of the imposed war. The trip of the Iranian delegation to Islamabad comes in response to Munir's earlier visit to Tehran.
Muscat is the second destination of Araghchi's three-nation trip that will also take him to Moscow.
