President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, is set to arrive in Pakistan for a two-day state visit on August 2–3, 2025. Invited by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, this visit marks Dr. Pezeshkian’s first official tour to Pakistan as Iran’s newly elected president.

The visit is expected to reinforce long-standing diplomatic, economic, and regional cooperation between the two neighboring countries.

High-Level Delegation to Accompany Iranian President

Dr. Pezeshkian will be accompanied by a senior-level Iranian delegation, including Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, cabinet members, and top government officials. According to Pakistan’s Foreign Office, the agenda includes extensive discussions covering a range of bilateral, regional, and global issues.

Scheduled Meetings with Pakistan’s Leadership

During the visit, President Pezeshkian will hold official talks with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and also meet with President Asif Ali Zardari. Delegation-level meetings will focus on enhancing bilateral cooperation in trade, border security, energy, and people-to-people exchanges.

The visit comes just months after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s own visit to Iran in May 2025, a move seen as pivotal in reviving cross-border energy and infrastructure projects.

Strengthening Pakistan-Iran Relations in a Changing Region

This visit is symbolic of the evolving geopolitical dynamics in the region. With rising tensions in the Middle East and increasing polarization in global politics, Pakistan and Iran are expected to explore new avenues of collaboration that promote regional stability and shared development.

Earlier this year, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met with President Pezeshkian in Tehran, where he conveyed Prime Minister Sharif’s goodwill and appreciation. Naqvi also reaffirmed Pakistan’s support for Iran’s right to self-defense and emphasized unity among Muslim nations in the face of external aggression.

A Call for Muslim Unity

During the meeting with Naqvi, President Pezeshkian stressed the importance of political solidarity in the Islamic world, urging regional leaders to unite against destabilizing forces. He identified the Zionist regime’s tactics as divisive and harmful, calling for increased cooperation among Muslim-majority countries.

Strategic Outcomes Expected

This state visit is poised to enhance Pakistan-Iran ties on both diplomatic and strategic fronts. From regional security to religious tourism, both sides are expected to sign new agreements and renew their commitment to cooperation.

As the region navigates through complex security challenges, the strengthening of Iran-Pakistan relations could play a key role in stabilizing South and West Asia.
