General Asim Munir, Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, will undertake an official visit to Iran's capital on Monday, according to announcements from Tehran's foreign ministry.
Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, said the visit forms part of broader efforts to advance peace and security across the region. The timing of the visit underscores the importance both nations place on military-level dialogue and cooperation.
The visit comes amid heightened regional tensions and reflects ongoing attempts by Pakistan and Iran to strengthen bilateral relations and coordinate on shared security concerns. Military exchanges between the two countries have historically served as a channel for dialogue on border security, counterterrorism operations, and regional stability.
General Munir's visit to Tehran is expected to include meetings with senior Iranian military and government officials to discuss matters of mutual interest and regional cooperation.
