Abbas Araghchi was received by Pakistani officials just after midnight when his plane landed at an airport near Islamabad. He was set to meet with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and other officials at the Foreign Ministry today.

The visit comes as Iran is in an escalating confrontation with Israel.
