There is no official word yet from either side about the exact dates of the Iranian president’s visit but sources said Raisi would be in Islamabad on April 22.
This will be the first visit by any head of state to Pakistan since the new government took charge after the February 8 elections.
The visit is part of ongoing efforts by the two countries to deepen their cooperation that in January was threatened by the missile exchanges.
Iran launched missile strikes in Balochistan on January 16 in an unprecedented move to violate the sovereignty of Pakistan. Iran claimed it targeted the hideouts of terrorists. Pakistan denied the claim and retaliated with its own strikes inside Iran, bringing the two neighbours on the verge of potential war.
However, tensions de-esclated quickly after high level contacts established between the two countries. Within days of the missile exchanges, the Iranian president vowed to travel to Islamabad and both sides agreed to restore diplomatic ties and set new terms of engagements to avoid future escalations.
Both countries agreed at the time that the Iranian president would visit Pakistan after the general elections.
