During the visit, the Prime Minister will call on Iranian Supreme Leader Seyed Ali Khamenei and hold detailed consultations with President Hassan Rouhani.
Imran Khan will also meet members of the Iranian and Pakistani business community in Iran.
Pakistan’s relations with Iran are marked by close historic and cultural linkages and strong people to people exchanges. Both countries are also members of the Economic Cooperation Organisation and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
The premier’s visit to Iran is anticipated to further strengthen the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
However, the talks are considered crucial amid regional tensions between nuclear-armed Pakistan and India, and the vital role that Iran could play to resolve the simmering tensions.
Pakistan on Saturday demanded Iran to take a stern action against the terrorists involved in the brutal killing of 14 passengers after offloading them from the bus on the Makran Coastal Highway in Balochistan.
In this regard, Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO) forwarded a letter of protest to the Iranian Embassy in Islamabad.
