Iran’s Interior Minister Arrives
The visit aims to strengthen bilateral relations and lift trade toward a $10 billion target, with only about 20% of required movement now taking place, Momeni said.
- On Monday, Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni arrived in Islamabad, where Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi received him at Islamabad International Airport to discuss strengthening bilateral relations.
- Both nations previously agreed to increase bilateral trade to an initial $10 billion target, though current volume stands at around $3 billion, with Momeni noting only about 20% of required movement currently occurring.
- Naqvi expressed hope that Momeni brought "good news" to promote regional stability, as Pakistan encourages warring nations to resume talks under a memorandum of understanding it helped mediate last month.
- While diplomatic exchanges continue via mediators, the region faces escalating tensions as President Donald Trump vowed reprisals following American casualties and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated his country is fighting a "full-scale war."
- During his stay, Momeni is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to discuss border security, energy cooperation, and the evolving regional situation.
