Pakistan says the Iranian foreign minister will visit the country next week, signaling efforts to rebuild ties after the neighbors exchanged missile and drone strikes last week at what they said were militant targets.

Ambassadors of both countries have also been asked to return to their posts by Jan. 26, the Pakistan foreign ministry says in a statement.
