Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is currently on a three-day visit to Pakistan, which began on Monday, April 22, 2024. The purpose of his visit is to discuss various issues with Pakistani leadership, including economic and commercial matters, energy, and border issues. The visit comes at a critical time, as tensions between Iran and Israel continue to escalate.

During his stay, Raisi is holding talks with top Pakistani leadership, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari. 

He is also expected to visit major cities, such as Lahore and Karachi, to focus on bilateral and trade ties. Public holiday has been announced in Lahore due to the Iranian President's visit.

The key topics of discussion during the visit include strengthening bilateral ties, enhancing cooperation in various sectors such as trade, connectivity, energy, agriculture, and people-to-people contacts, and addressing regional and global developments, including the common threat of terrorism.

Raisi's visit is significant as it marks the first visit by a head of state to Pakistan following the general elections in February 2024.

It is also an attempt to mend the recent rift between the two nations, as tensions between Iran and Israel continue to escalate.
