ISLAMABAD -UNS :Interior Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi arrived in Tehran for an official visit on Tuesday, as Islamabad continues diplomatic efforts aimed at facilitating dialogue between Iran and the United States amid tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
Naqvi is scheduled to meet senior Iranian officials during his stay, with discussions expected to include the situation in the strategic waterway, bilateral relations and other matters of mutual interest. Iranian media reports confirmed his arrival but did not immediately provide full details of his meeting schedule.
The visit comes as Pakistan continues to maintain contact with both Tehran and Washington as part of its efforts to support diplomatic engagement over the conflict and the wider regional crisis.
Hormuz talks:
The Strait of Hormuz is expected to feature prominently in discussions during Naqvi’s meetings in Tehran. The strategic waterway is a crucial route for global energy shipments, and its security has remained one of the key issues in discussions between Iran and the US.
Pakistan has emerged as an important intermediary in diplomatic contacts between the two sides. Islamabad has hosted negotiations and has continued communicating with Tehran and Washington as efforts continue to address outstanding issues and prevent further escalation.
Naqvi has travelled to Iran several times in recent months as part of Pakistan’s diplomatic engagement. Reports indicate that his latest visit is his sixth trip to Tehran since the conflict began, underlining the frequency of Islamabad’s contacts with Iranian officials.
