ISLAMABAD: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Thursday arrived here on a two-day official visit. Zarif is the first top foreign diplomat to visit Pakistan after the new government led by Prime Minister Imran Khan came into power earlier this month, the Foreign Ministry said.
He is scheduled to meet with Imran Khan, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi. Soon after his arrival, Zarif had a meeting with the National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser.
