Foreign Secretary Tahir Andrabi announced on Wednesday that Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi's visit to Iran aimed at discussing bilateral relations, security matters, regional developments, with a particular focus on peace and stability. Naqvi arrived in Tehran on Tuesday and met with senior Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The visit provided an opportunity for both countries to strengthen their ties and focus on regional peace and stability. Andrabi emphasized Pakistan's ongoing efforts, through the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and mediation, to resolve the crisis between Iran and the US. He also highlighted Pakistan's commitment to addressing spoilers and maintaining constructive dialogue.
Additionally, Andrabi announced a defense pact signed between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye, which he described as a significant development that enhances collective security and promotes peace in the region and beyond. The spokesperson dismissed India's recent remarks regarding human rights abuses in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) as "baseless" and criticized India's politicization of the issue.
He urged India to honor its commitments and support the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir through a UN plebiscite, as per relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
