ISLAMABAD: Amid growing tension with neighboring India after an attack on tourists in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) last month, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi arrived in Islamabad Monday for a one-day visit to meet with top authorities, sources said.
Islamabad disputes India’s accusations that Pakistan was involved in the fatal attack. It claims to have “credible intelligence” that India plans to use force, escalating the likelihood of conflict between the rival nations with nuclear weapons.
Reza Amiri Moghadam, the Iranian ambassador to Pakistan, said state media that the Pakistan-India stalemate would be discussed.
“Given Iran’s close relations with both Pakistan and India, ways of reducing tension in the subcontinent will be among issues … pursued during Araqchi’s meetings,” he stated.
