ISLAMABAD: (Web Desk) Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has arrived in Tehran carrying special messages from Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for Iran’s Supreme Leader, as Pakistan continues efforts to facilitate dialogue between the United States and Iran.

Upon his arrival, Naqvi was welcomed by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni. The two leaders held discussions on regional developments before jointly addressing the media. Iranian reports also indicated that the Pakistani minister is scheduled to meet senior Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, during his visit.

Speaking to reporters, Naqvi said he had travelled to Tehran to deliver a letter from Field Marshal Asim Munir along with a message from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for the Iranian leadership.
