ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi arrived in Tehran Sunday, kickstarting his one-day visit to Iran. The foreign minister was tasked by Prime Minister Imran Khan to play a leading role in establishing peace in the Middle East.
The foreign minister visited the shrine of Imam Raza in Mashhad before heading over to the capital. Qureshi said Pakistan will try to solve the problem of increasing tensions in the Middle East.
The visit of the foreign minister comes on the heels of escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran after Iran fired missiles at two bases in Iraq housing American troops. The attack was retaliation for a US drone strike ordered by President Trump that killed top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad last week.
According to Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi, Qureshi will hold talks with Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and other officials on the current situation in the region.
