Iran president Ebrahim Raisi to begin 3-day visit to Pakistan from April 22

Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi is set to visit Pakistan this week, as per an announcement made by Islamabad on Sunday. This visit comes as both Muslim countries aim to improve relations following recent tensions, including missile strikes exchanged in January. Initially in doubt due to rising tensions in the Middle East, especially after Iran's attack on Israel and an alleged Israeli strike on central Iran, Raisi's visit was confirmed by Pakistan's ministry of foreign affairs.
