RAWALPINDI (Kashmir English): Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni in Tehran on Monday, Pakistan TV reported.
Earlier today, in a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the visit of Field Marshal Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to Iran was part of Pakistan’s efforts to promote peace and stability in the region.
“The Field Marshal will focus on promoting efforts towards peaceful, lasting, and comprehensive resolution of the conflict in the Middle East,” the military’s media wing said.
The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmaeil Baqaei, has confirmed the visit of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to Iran and remarked that crucial meetings will take place during this visit.
As per the Iranian news agency IRNA, Baqaei stated that the purpose of this visit is to strengthen bilateral ties to “one of their strongest stages.”
He noted the visit was unrelated to the visit of Oman’s foreign minister, who is expected to arrive today, adding that “both visits will address regional security issues.”
It is worth mentioning that during the time of high tension between Iran and the US, Pakistan maintained close ties with both parties and continued with its diplomatic moves to encourage peace in the region.
The talks between the US and Iran ended up failing due to disagreement on various issues; however, both countries have subsequently begun targeting each other with their attacks. And, in the current situation, Pakistan continues with its activities aimed at easing the situation in the region and resolving the conflict peacefully.
