ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s powerful army chief completed a three-day visit to Tehran, the country’s military says, having met top Iranian leaders and negotiators as part of efforts to end the Middle East war.
Field Marshal Asim Munir met several top Iranian leaders during the trip, which shows Pakistan’s “unwavering resolve to facilitate a negotiated settlement… and to promote peace, stability, and prosperity,” the military says in a statement ahead of expected peace talks in Islamabad in the coming days.
