Iranian President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian began his important two-day visit to Pakistan by visiting the tomb of Allama Iqbal in Lahore. This gesture was seen as a sign of respect for Pakistan’s national poet, who played a key role in inspiring the country’s creation. President Pezeshkian was joined by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. Together, they laid a floral wreath at the mausoleum and signed the visitors’ book to honor Iqbal’s legacy.
The Iranian leader received a warm welcome from Pakistani officials upon his arrival. His visit comes at a time when regional tensions are rising, and both countries are looking for ways to work more closely together. The main purpose of this visit is to improve relations between Iran and Pakistan, especially in areas like trade, politics, energy, and cultural exchange.
Over the course of his visit, Dr. Pezeshkian is expected to hold high-level meetings with Pakistani leaders, including President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. These meetings will focus on ways to increase cooperation and strengthen the friendship between the two neighboring countries.
To mark the occasion, streets in Lahore were decorated, and tight security arrangements were put in place to ensure a smooth and safe visit. Officials on both sides hope that this historic trip will lead to stronger diplomatic ties, greater economic opportunities, and a better understanding between the people of Iran and Pakistan.
