Along with a senior group of cabinet members and officials, the Iranian president arrived at the nation’s capital with his spouse.

Housing Minister Mian Riaz Hussain Pirzada and Pakistan’s ambassador to Iran, Mudassir Tipu, met Raisi upon his arrival at the Islamabad airport, according to the Foreign Office (FO).

Arriving at the Prime Minister’s House shortly after entering the nation, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif greeted the Iranian president. Furthermore, a guard of honour was given to him.

In honour of Earth Day, PM Shehbaz and Raisi planted a seedling in the PM’s residence. Along with signing memorandums of understanding for collaboration in a number of fields, the two presidents would also be present at the signing ceremony.

Iran Avenue is a highway in Islamabad, and Shehbaz and Raisi will be attending a ceremony to commemorate this. According to a state-run news source, they will also have a press conference.

The Iranian president will see the president, speaker of the National Assembly, Senate chairman, and prime minister of Pakistan during his visit, which runs from April 22 to 24, according to the foreign office.

Talks to improve trade, bilateral ties, and collaboration in the energy, agricultural, and other sectors will be held between the officials.

In order to address the shared threat of terrorism, the parties will have bilateral meetings as well as regional and global collaboration on topics. This was announced by the foreign office.

President Raisi’s agenda, according to sources, includes exploring possible free trade agreements, collaborating on security matters, building a gas pipeline, and bilateral relations.

With the intention of fostering better economic ties, Pakistan and Iran have also chosen to create a joint special economic zone.

As President Ebrahim Raisi prepares to visit Pakistan on April 22 (Monday), sources told ARY News that the federal cabinet approved the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iran.

Sources further stated that the establishment of the Joint Special Economic Zone will occur at the level of governments.

To meet with the provincial leaders of the nation, the Iranian president would also travel to the cities of Karachi and Lahore. The mausoleum of Allama Iqbal is another destination Raisi is expected to see.

In order to honour the man who founded Pakistan, Raisi will also go the Quaid’s mausoleum in Karachi. Arriving in Tehran on Wednesday, the foreign leader would remain in Karachi.
