Discussions are expected to cover key topics such as border management, bilateral trade, energy cooperation, Iran’s nuclear program, and the ongoing Iran-U.S. negotiations.
To honor the Iranian leader, President Zardari will host a formal state banquet, while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will arrange a state luncheon in Islamabad.
Officials say the meetings aim to enhance political and parliamentary collaboration between the two nations, contributing to regional peace and stability.
