Tehran, AUG 1: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is set to arrive in Islamabad on Saturday (tomorrow) for a two-day state visit to Pakistan, the Foreign Office said on Friday.
In a statement, the FO said the Iranian president is visiting the country at the invitation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
“Dr Pezeshkian will be accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Foreign Minister of Iran Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, senior ministers, and other high-ranking officials,” the statement added.
During his stay, Pezeshkian will meet President Asif Ali Zardari, and hold delegation-level talks with PM Shehbaz Sharif.
This marks Pezeshkian’s first official visit to Pakistan as the President of Iran.
PM Shehbaz last visited Iran on May 26, 2025. The visit is expected to further strengthen the brotherly relations between Pakistan and Iran.
According to the Political Adviser to the Iranian President, Mehdi Sanai, official meetings and discussions with “cultural and business elites” were planned during the president’s visit.
“The relations between the two countries encompass political, economic, religious, and cultural dimensions,” he had said in a X post on July 30.
The development of provincial and border cooperation, as well as increasing trade from the current $3 billion, are among the objectives of the visit, the adviser concluded.
Pezeshkian will be the second Iranian president to visit Pakistan within two years. The visit was originally scheduled for the final week of July.
In April 2024, Ebrahim Raisi paid a three-day official visit to Pakistan — just a month before his death in a helicopter crash.
Earlier in May, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif undertook a two-day bilateral visit to Iran as part of his regional tour to friendly countries aimed at expre¬ssing gratitude for their support during the conflict with India.
During the two-day visit, the premier met Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and the Iranian president.
The meetings focused on Pakistan-Iran relations, particularly the promotion of trade and regional connectivity, besides covering regional issues, with appreciation for Iran’s efforts to maintain peace in the region during the war imposed on Pakistan by India.
Both sides also discussed the strengthening of strategic ties between the two countries, as well as the immediate cessation of Zionist oppression in Gaza and achieving a sustainable and lasting ceasefire.
He had previously visited Iran in May 2024 to attend the memorial ceremony of former president Raisi.

Tehran, JUL 30: Iranian President Dr Masoud Pezeshkian will visit Pakistan on August 2 (Saturday) for a two-day visit, his political adviser said on Wednesday, Iran’s IRNA news agency reported.
Taking to X, Political Adviser to the Iranian President, Mehdi Sanai, said: “Dr Pezeshkian will travel to Pakistan on Saturday evening, August 2, at the invitation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.”
According to the adviser, official meetings and discussions with “cultural and business elites” were planned during the president’s visit. “The relations between the two countries encompass political, economic, religious, and cultural dimensions,” he said.

ISLAMABAD, JUL 30 /DNA/ – The China Program at the Institute of Regional Studies (IRS), Islamabad, hosted a panel discussion titled “China-led Cooperation in South Asia Beyond Geopolitics: Partnerships for Peace, Development and Common Prosperity.” The event brought together ambassadors, academics, policy analysts, and media professionals to examine the emerging trilateral cooperation of China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
In his opening remarks, Ambassador Jauhar Saleem, President of IRS, highlighted the urgency of rethinking regional collaboration in South Asia, a region home to over 1.9 billion people yet plagued by persistent underdevelopment, limited integration, and pressing environmental and geopolitical challenges. “South Asia accounts for only 5% of intraregional trade, the lowest in the world. We need to move beyond outdated frameworks and explore new models that prioritize cooperation over confrontation,” he said. Ambassador Saleem underscored that the trilateral mechanisms involving China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are not a replacement for SAARC but rather a pragmatic response to its stagnation. He noted that Bangladesh, once heavily influenced by India, is now undergoing a developmental shift and diversifying its regional engagement. He further pointed to a growing number of cooperative frameworks, including the recent China–Pakistan–Afghanistan trilateral meeting, which demonstrate a commitment to shared development without strategic or military overtones.
Building on this, Ambassador Moin ul Haque, Pakistan Former Ambassador to China, echoed the need for such platforms amid consistent obstruction of regional initiatives. “SAARC began with high hopes—it was once seen as South Asia’s answer to the European Union or ASEAN. But time and again, we’ve seen constructive initiatives, whether from Pakistan or China, being blocked by a single member state,” he said, alluding to India’s opposition.
Recalling his tenure as Ambassador to China, Mr. Haque shared insights on successful collaborations that excluded India due to its reluctance to participate. He cited the establishment of the China–South Asia Countries Emergency Supply Reserve and a poverty alleviation and development cooperation center, initiatives that emerged during the pandemic and have since contributed to vaccine access and poverty reduction across South Asia.
Lt. Gen. Dr. Aminul Karim, professor at Bangladesh University of Professionals, added that, it is both possible and desirable for the three countries to build cooperation in key non-traditional sectors such as climate change, information and communication technology (ICT), and human resource development. This form of collaboration does not require a military alliance, which reinforces the idea that these nations are not pursuing geopolitical or strategic rivalry. Instead, their primary objective is to promote mutual development and prosperity. Such cooperation is rooted in shared interests, not in power politics. At the same time, this framework respects the diverse values, cultures, and belief systems of other countries, allowing space for peaceful coexistence and constructive engagement. In this spirit, the partnership can serve as a model of harmony and inclusive development.
Panelist Dr. Salma Malik, Associate Professor at the department of Defence and Strategic Studies, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, noted that countries like Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka are growing increasingly disillusioned with India’s hegemonic posture. “China’s model of cooperation, as seen in the China–South Asia Cooperation Forum and the South Asia Expo in Kunming, offers a contrast—one rooted in inclusivity, green growth, and connectivity,” she said. The Expo brought together over 200 delegates from 10 countries, excluding India, to align development strategies and promote collaboration in areas such as agriculture, digital technology, healthcare, and trade.
Professor Lin Minwang, Deputy Director of the Centre for South Asian Studies & Vice Dean at the Institute of International Studies, Fudan University, emphasized that China’s initiatives are often misunderstood or mischaracterized. “China has repeatedly tried to allay Indian suspicions. It has no intention of creating a sphere of influence. Rather, it seeks open, inclusive, and mutually beneficial cooperation. Unfortunately, India has consistently declined these invitations,” he noted.
The discussion also touched upon media narratives and public diplomacy. Senior journalist and Author Mr. Kamran Yousaf offered a critical reflection on Pakistan’s diplomatic posture. “Our approach tends to be too defensive, too apologetic. We need to project confidence in our foreign policy. India’s military rarely comments on political matters, but it made a point to criticize this trilateral mechanism. That in itself reflects the significance of this evolving cooperation,” he said.
Participants collectively agreed that the future of South Asian cooperation cannot remain hostage to geopolitical rivalries. Trilateral and multilateral frameworks rooted in shared development goals, such as those emerging under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—offer a much-needed alternative. As traditional institutions like SAARC remain paralyzed, these new platforms present a more flexible, functional model for promoting peace, reducing poverty, and enhancing connectivity in the region.
The event concluded with a call to move beyond speculative criticism and focus on the tangible benefits of regional cooperation. Panelists emphasized that these emerging frameworks are not anti-anyone but pro-development, offering inclusive and forward-looking pathways to prosperity. A vibrant Q&A session followed, marked by active audience engagement, making the discussion both insightful and fruitful while underscoring the importance of such platforms in shaping South Asia’s cooperative future.

ISLAMABAD, JUL 30: Pakistan has rejected the Indian leadership’s “fabrications” over the Pahalgam attack, saying that New Delhi should stop acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
“Pakistan categorically rejects the baseless assertions and provocative claims made by the Indian leaders during the Lok Sabha debate on the so-called ‘Operation Sindoor’,” said FO spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan on Wednesday.
Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, a day earlier, claimed before the parliament that Indian security forces recovered Pakistani voter identity cards and locally made chocolates from three men killed in a gun battle in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), who according to him were involved in Pahalgam attack.
Addressing the same session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also denied that any world leader pushed India to stop fighting Pakistan during their recent conflict, after repeated claims by US President Donald Trump that he had brokered peace.
The South Asian rivals fought an intense four-day conflict in May that took more than 70 lives on both sides before Trump announced a ceasefire between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
“The statements reflected a dangerous tendency to distort facts, justify aggression, and glorify conflict for domestic consumption,” the spokesperson added.
“The world knows that India attacked Pakistan without any verifiable evidence or a credible investigation into the Pahalgam Attack. During the intervening night of 6 and 7 May 2025, India’s targeting of the alleged terrorist infrastructure resulted actually in the martyrdom of innocent men, women, and children.”
“India failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives. On the other hand, Pakistan’s resounding success in neutralising the Indian fighter jets and military targets is an indisputable fact.”
The spokesperson asked the Indian leaders to acknowledge the losses incurred by their armed forces and accept the active role played by the third parties in realising the ceasefire, instead of misleading their compatriots.
“India did not avail itself of the immediate offer made by the Prime Minister of Pakistan for a transparent and independent probe into the Pahalgam attack.”
Slamming the Indian attacks on Pakistan, Shafqat said that New Delhi chose the path of belligerence and aggression. He added that India acted as a judge, jury, and executioner at the same time.
“Against this backdrop, any claims regarding the so-called “Operation Mahadev” do not hold any significance for us.”
“The account given by the Indian home minister is replete with fabrications, leading to serious questions about its credibility.”
“Is it a mere coincidence that the alleged perpetrators of the Pahalgam Attack were killed at the start of the Lok Sabha debate?” Shafqat questioned.
“We also reiterate our unequivocal rejection of the ceaseless Indian statements on establishing a ‘new normal’ in bilateral relations. As we have already shown through our resolute actions in May 2025, we shall forcefully counter any future aggression.”
Shafqat said: “For us, the only ‘normal’ in bilateral relations is respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and adherence to the principles and purposes of the UN Charter.”
Nuclear blackmail The FO spokesperson said that the Indian narrative of an alleged “nuclear blackmail” by Pakistan was a “misleading and self-serving construct”, and an attempt to veil its own escalatory impulses while shifting blame onto Pakistan.
“It is well known that Pakistan deterred India through its conventional capabilities, affirming that discipline and restraint remain its guiding principles.”
Shafqat also registered disapproval of the Indian leaders’ misplaced assertions regarding the Indus Waters Treaty.
He said that India’s decision to hold the Treaty in abeyance shows its blatant disregard for the sanctity of international treaties and strikes at a fundamental pillar of regional cooperation.
“Instead of taking pride in a unilateral and illegal move, India must immediately fulfil its treaty obligations,” he said, adding that India’s continued reliance on disinformation, jingoism, and chest-thumping risks destabilising South Asia.
“However, as a responsible country,” said Shafqat and concluded his remarks: “Pakistan remains committed to peace, regional stability, and a meaningful dialogue for resolution of all outstanding issues, including the core dispute of Jammu and Kashmir.”
ISLAMABAD, JUL 30 /DNA/ – “The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is not just a financial lifeline—it is a transformative initiative that restores dignity, builds resilience, and empowers the most marginalized women in Pakistan,” said Senator Rubina Khalid, Chairperson of BISP, during a meeting with Munir Ahmed, Executive Director of Development Communications Network (Devcom-Pakistan) and a leading voice in climate advocacy and environmental diplomacy. Munir Ahmed called on the Senator Robina Khalid to congratulate on her historic third consecutive term in the Senate.
Senator Rubina Khalid briefed Mr. Ahmed on BISP’s progress and the positive impact of its initiatives across Pakistan. She underscored the programme’s commitment to expand its outreach, especially in underserved and climate-vulnerable areas, by strengthening transparency, innovation, and inclusion.
Recognizing her re-election as a significant milestone, Munir Ahmed, a seasoned climate communication specialist with over two decades of experience in environmental policy advocacy, praised Senator Khalid’s dynamic leadership and BISP’s critical role in grassroots development.
The future of social protection lies in its ability to evolve with the challenges of our time—especially climate change,” said Munir Ahmed. As Pakistan grapples with recurring climate shocks, it is essential to integrate climate resilience into the social safety net. By empowering communities through locally-led adaptation strategies, we can reduce environmental risks, improve community health, and build sustainable livelihoods.”
He proposed the initiation of community-based climate resilience projects in partnership with BISP, focusing on nature-based solutions, climate-smart agriculture, water and sanitation improvements, and women-led green micro-enterprises. These initiatives, he said, could strengthen the economic and ecological resilience of vulnerable households, especially in areas most affected by floods, droughts, and glacial melt.
Both leaders agreed that there is a strong synergy between social protection and climate adaptation goals, and that collaborative efforts between public programmes like BISP and civil society actors like Devcom-Pakistan can significantly enhance community well-being and national resilience.
The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue dialogue and explore institutional pathways for integrating environmental sustainability into Pakistan’s social protection architecture.
