ISLAMABAD — President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, will pay a two-day state visit to Pakistan from August 2 to 3, 2025, at the invitation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry announced Friday.

This will be Dr. Pezeshkian’s first official visit to Pakistan since assuming office. He will be accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, senior ministers, and other top officials.

During his stay, President Pezeshkian is scheduled to meet President Asif Ali Zardari and hold delegation-level talks with Prime Minister Sharif. The discussions are expected to focus on strengthening bilateral ties, regional cooperation, and shared interests in trade, energy, border security, and connectivity.

The visit comes just weeks after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif traveled to Tehran on May 26, 2025, highlighting a continued momentum in Pakistan-Iran relations. The Foreign Ministry said the visit is expected to further deepen the “brotherly relations” between the two neighboring countries.
