Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran, pledging stronger bilateral cooperation and expressing solidarity over Iran’s recent conflict.
Naqvi congratulated President Pezeshkian on Iran's “great victory” in the war, and commended the leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling it a source of pride for the Muslim world.
The minister said Pakistan had strongly condemned the attack on Iran and was the first to pass a parliamentary resolution supporting Iran’s right to self-defence. He also conveyed greetings from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to regional stability.
President Pezeshkian expressed appreciation for Pakistan’s support during the conflict and described the relationship between the two countries as “deep and historic.” He warned that the Zionist regime was seeking to divide Muslim countries and urged unity among Islamic nations.
Pezeshkian underscored the importance of diplomacy and constructive dialogue, saying that both countries had ample opportunity to expand cooperation in various sectors.
“The support extended by Pakistan during the war will not be forgotten,” he said, adding that unity among Muslim nations was essential for countering foreign interference.
The meeting was also attended by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, the President’s Special Assistant, and ambassadors from both countries.
Earlier, the minister also attended a trilateral meeting of interior ministers from Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq, hosted in Tehran.
The three countries agreed to form a joint working group to facilitate pilgrim travel, with Naqvi announcing that from January 1, 2026, Zaireen will only be permitted to visit Iraq through officially registered group organisers.
