Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces of Pakistan, held an important meeting with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis), in Tehran on Wednesday.
The high-level meeting took place during the ongoing visit of the Pakistani delegation to Iran. It reflects the strong and continuing diplomatic and defence engagement between Pakistan and Iran.
According to reports, the discussions focused on regional security, bilateral cooperation, and ways to maintain peace and stability in the region amid current tensions. Both sides also reviewed matters related to border security and economic cooperation.
Field Marshal Asim Munir is leading a high-level Pakistani delegation that includes Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and other senior civil and military officials. This visit comes at a critical time as Pakistan continues its efforts to support dialogue and de-escalation between the United States and Iran.
The meeting with Speaker Ghalibaf is considered significant because he is one of the most influential political figures in Iran. It shows the depth of relations between the two neighbouring countries.
Pakistan and Iran share a long border and have historically maintained close ties in the fields of defence, trade, and counter-terrorism. Both countries have repeatedly expressed their commitment to work together for regional peace and prosperity.
