ISLAMABAD ( WNAM REPORT): Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held high-level talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran on Sunday, focusing on regional security, recent hostilities, and efforts to consolidate a fragile ceasefire, Iran’s WANA news agency reported.
Quoting a statement from the Pakistani embassy in Tehran, the Iranian news agency said Naqvi spent nearly 90 minutes in a private meeting with the Iranian president at the Presidential Administration, with his total visit to the complex lasting around three hours.
Pezeshkian praised what he described as the responsible cooperation of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq in preventing their territories from being used as bases for armed operations against Iran.
He said solidarity among Islamic nations was essential for regional peace and reduced the scope for external intervention, including what he referred to as “adventurism by extra-regional powers and the Israeli regime.”
The Iranian president also praised Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts during recent tensions, particularly the role of its political and military leadership in supporting ceasefire stabilisation efforts.
“President Pezeshkian highly commended the active diplomacy of the Pakistani government—particularly Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir—in facilitating and stabilising the recent ceasefire,” the statement said.
Naqvi, for his part, highlighted Pakistan’s continued diplomatic engagement aimed at de-escalation and ending hostilities, noting that recent events had clarified regional alignments and “provided a vital baseline for future strategic decisions.”
The meeting also addressed wider regional developments, with Pezeshkian condemning recent military actions against Iran and describing them as unlawful and aimed at destabilisation. He said such efforts had failed due to national unity and resilience. “The adversaries’ primary objective was to trigger domestic instability and dismantle the Islamic system,” he added.
