The Prime Minister commended the Iranian leadership's farsightedness in engaging with the United States over the nuclear issue and expressed hope for a constructive agreement that could contribute to regional peace and stability.

The Supreme Leader, in response, acknowledged the Prime Minister's efforts for promoting peace and his personal dedication to enhancing Pakistan-Iran ties.

He offered prayers for Pakistan’s progress, growth, and prosperity, according to the press release issued.

The Prime Minister was accompanied by Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Federal Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, and Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar.

Prime Minister Shehbaz also extended his appreciation for the Supreme Leader’s admiration of Allama Iqbal's poetry, and formally invited him to visit Pakistan again at his earliest convenience.
