Pakistani Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif will pay an official visit to Tehran to hold talks with senior Iranian officials on leading mutual, regional and international developments, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says.

According to Press TV, Bahram Qassemi said on Sunday that the Pakistani foreign minister would arrive in Tehran on Monday for a day-long visit at the head of a politico-economic delegation.

He added that Asif plans to meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the vice president for economic affairs, Mohammad Nahavandian.
