Pakistan's interior minister to deliver 'special message' from army chief, PM to Iran's Leader
Pakistan's interior minister, who is visiting Tehran to meet with senior Iranian officials, says he has arrived in the Islamic Republic to deliver a "special message" from Pakistan's civilian and military leadership to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
Syed Mohsin Naqvi made the remarks on Saturday, meeting with Interior Minister Eskandar Mo'meni.
Naqvi said the purpose of his visit included handing over the letter from Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal General Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, noting that the message addressed "the current situation."
"I think this message is an important one. I hope everything proceeds well and comes to a good conclusion," he added.
Pakistan has emerged as an important intermediary between Tehran and Washington since February, when the United States and the Israeli regime began their latest bout of unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic.

Islamabad brokered a ceasefire and hosted the first round of talks between the two sides in April, though those negotiations did not produce a breakthrough amid Washington's maximalist demands.
"We hope these crises will soon come to an end through the efforts of Pakistan's prime minister and chief of army staff," Naqvi noted.
He also stressed the close ties between the two neighboring countries, underlining that "Iran and Pakistan have brotherly relations with one another."
The Pakistani minister also thanked Majlis (Parliament) Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, expressing hope that ongoing efforts aimed at bringing an end to the cycle arising from the unprovoked aggression would produce results.
Mo'meni expressed appreciation for Pakistan's active role in mediating efforts aimed at reducing tensions between Iran and the United States.
He described Pakistan as a friendly, brotherly, and neighboring country with which Iran shares deep religious, cultural, and historical ties.
'$10-billion goal set for bilateral trade'
The Iranian minister said part of Naqvi's visit focused on bilateral issues, including border security, combating drug trafficking, and counterterrorism cooperation.
He announced that the two sides had agreed to work towards increasing the volume of annual bilateral trade from $3 billion to $10 billion, adding that achieving the target would require cooperation from other ministries in both countries.
Naqvi arrived in Tehran earlier on Saturday and was welcomed by his Iranian counterpart.
The Pakistani interior minister is also scheduled to meet Araghchi on Sunday for further talks.
