Sources in the Iranian embassy said that Islamabad and Tehran are yet to officially announce the schedule of the visit, but President Ibrahim Raisi's visit to Islamabad is still planned. The Foreign Office has also confirmed the visit
Recent developments and the regional security situation will be prominent in the talks between President Raisi and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The two will hold delegation-level talks as well as one-to-one meetings.
President Asif Ali Zardari will host a banquet in honor of the visiting President. The visit is part of ongoing efforts to deepen cooperation between the two countries, which suffered a temporary setback in January's missile exchange.
