Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to arrive in Pakistan on Tuesday for a one-day visit, his first foreign trip since the recent US-Iran understanding. According to Iranian officials, the primary purpose of the visit is to thank Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Pakistani leadership for their crucial role in mediating the peace talks.

During his visit, President Pezeshkian is scheduled to meet with President Asif Ali Zardari and PM Sharif to discuss the ongoing peace process and the regional situation. The visit follows the successful first round of negotiations in Switzerland, dubbed the ‘Lake Lucerne Summit’.

The upcoming visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Islamabad occurs as Pakistan assumes a central role in facilitating a new diplomatic process between Tehran and Washington. Recent talks in Switzerland, jointly mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, resulted in a 60-day roadmap aimed at securing a comprehensive agreement between the US and Iran.

This negotiation process is the first high-level engagement under the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding,” a Pakistan-brokered accord. Key outcomes from the talks include the establishment of a high-level committee to oversee mediation, a dedicated communication channel to prevent accidental escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, and a de-confliction cell for Lebanon.
