Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Monday landed in Islamabad on a three-day visit. The visit holds critical value as the Western world will be keeping a close watch against the backdrop of Tehran’s ongoing frictions with Israel and the United States.

The Iranian President landed at Islamabad’s Nur Khan Airbase where he was received by Pakistan’s Minister of Housing and Works Mian Riaz Hussain Pirzada.

He was escorted to the Prime Minister’s House where he was given a guard of honour and met Pakistan Premier Shehbaz Sharif.

Raisi is in Pakistan along with a delegation comprising dignitaries from various fields, who will be having brief meetings and discussions with their Pakistani counterparts and will be formulating parameters of cooperation in the days to come.
