Iran notes that bilateral ties between Islamabad and Tehran have become “even more important than before” since the war began, with Pakistan serving as the key mediator.

Asked about Pakistan’s invitations to Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and FM Abbas Araghchi to visit Pakistan, the spokesperson said, “This visit will take place whenever the time is right. Bilateral relations are mainly considered.

“The relationship between Iran and Pakistan is a very important one,” Baqaei said, stressing that such “visits are a natural part of the good relationship between the two neighbours”.
