According to sources, Islamabad and Tehran have reached a consensus on the issues surrounding President Raisi’s visit. President Raisi, who will be accompanied by a high-ranking delegation, is scheduled to meet with the military leadership, President Asif Ali Zardari, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Following an Israeli airstrike on its Damascus consulate that claimed the lives of numerous individuals, including senior commanders of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Mohammed Reza Zahedi and Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, Tehran launched over 300 drones and missiles at Israel in retaliation. This is when he made his visit.

Other than that, the visit is a component of the two nations’ continuous attempts to strengthen their collaboration, which suffered a brief setback earlier this year.

When Pakistan used killer drones, rockets, loitering munitions, and stand-off weapons to target terrorists within Iranian territory in retribution for Tehran’s cross-border strikes, ties between the two nations soured in January.

Pakistan even withdrew its ambassador from Iran and declared that, in retaliation for Iran’s invasion of its sovereignty, the Iranian envoy that was then visiting Pakistan would not be permitted to return.

Nonetheless, the ambassadors of the two nations promptly resumed their respective positions, reestablishing diplomatic ties.

The publication quoted the sources as saying that among President Raisi’s priorities are possible free trade agreements (FTAs), gas pipelines, security cooperation, and bilateral connections.

The visit by the Iranian president is especially noteworthy because of their shared economic interests, chief among them being the Pak-Iran gas pipeline.

It is important to note that, in a related incident, Iran announced on Monday that it would free Pakistanis who were left on a ship that had been taken by Iranian forces because of the brotherly connections between the two nations, provided that their identities had been verified and all legal procedures had been fulfilled.
