According to Iranian state media, Naqvi is also carrying an important message from Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.

The visit is seen as part of continued diplomatic engagement between the two neighboring countries. It reflects efforts to improve communication at a high level.

The meeting highlights Pakistan’s focus on regional stability. It also shows ongoing efforts to expand cooperation with Iran in political and security areas.

Earlier, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in the Iranian capital on Saturday night to deliver a critical message from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

The unannounced visit comes as Islamabad steps up emergency diplomatic efforts to resolve a dangerous deadlock in indirect peace negotiations between Iran and the United States.

Naqvi was received at the airport by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and Pakistan’s newly appointed Ambassador to Iran, Imran Ahmad Siddiqui.

Following an initial meeting, the two interior ministers announced that both countries have agreed to work toward increasing annual bilateral economic exchanges to 10 billion dollars.

The official talks also covered border security, counter-terrorism cooperation, and joint operations against drug trafficking. Diplomatic sources confirmed that Naqvi is carrying new proposals from Islamabad aimed at saving the fragile ceasefire arrangement brokered by Pakistan earlier this year.
