Islamabad: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is expected to visit Islamabad later this week for consultations with the Pakistani leadership, a source said on Tuesday.
According to a Dawn report, the visit will take place amidst Iran’s escalating tensions with the United States.
The source said FM Zarif would meet civilian and military leaders during his daylong stay in Islamabad. He said Zarif would discuss the regional situation during his meetings in Islamabad in addition to bilateral matters, especially border security.
The trip will come days before the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s two-day summit in Makkah from May 30 to 31.
Saudi Arabia has, meanwhile, also scheduled an emergency summit of the Arab League for May 30.
Saudi Arabia, it is anticipated, would push for anti-Iran resolutions. (UNI)
