Field Marshal arrives in Tehran for mediation efforts

TEHRAN: Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, NI (M), HJ, Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff (COAS), has arrived in Tehran as part of Pakistan’s ongoing mediation efforts aimed at promoting regional peace and diplomatic engagement.

On arrival, he was warmly received by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi was also present at the reception.

The visit comes in continuation of Pakistan’s role as a facilitator in regional dialogue, particularly efforts linked to broader communication channels between Iran and other stakeholders, including previous rounds of indirect engagement hosted through diplomatic channels.

During the visit, Field Marshal Asim Munir is expected to hold high-level meetings with senior Iranian officials to discuss regional security developments, diplomatic coordination, and matters of mutual interest.

Pakistan has been actively facilitating dialogue efforts since earlier this year, supporting communication between involved parties to help reduce tensions and promote stability in the region.
