WANA (May 26) – Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is set to visit and arrive in Tehran today as part of his four-nation tour, where he will meet with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to discuss bilateral relations, regional security, and tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi.

 

According to Pakistani sources, Sharif is expected to arrive in Tehran Monday afternoon, following his visit to Turkey. He will spend the night in the Iranian capital before continuing his journey to Azerbaijan.

 

Diplomatic sources say the Tehran visit includes a high-level meeting with President Pezeshkian, during which Sharif will hold key consultations on the recent spike in tensions with India and the broader regional situation.

 

The Pakistani delegation is scheduled to hold multiple high-level meetings during its stay in Iran before departing for the next leg of the tour.

 

The four-country visit — including Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Tajikistan — aims to promote regional peace and stability, expand economic cooperation, and elevate Islamabad’s diplomatic engagement, government sources said.

 

During the tour, Prime Minister Sharif is expected to hold wide-ranging discussions with senior leaders and officials on bilateral ties as well as pressing regional and international issues.

 

On May 25 , Sharif met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Ankara. The two leaders reviewed all aspects of bilateral relations and reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening strategic cooperation. They also reiterated their principled support for the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.

 

In his remarks during the Turkey visit, Sharif expressed gratitude to friendly nations for backing Pakistan during its recent standoff with India. Sharif is also scheduled to attend the International Conference on Glaciers in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, on May 29–30.
