Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Tahir Andrabi has said he could neither deny nor confirm reports about a “high-level delegation” visiting Iran from Pakistan.
He made these remarks during a weekly briefing, where he was asked about reports of Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir visiting Iran.
“We can neither confirm not deny these reports,” Andrabi said in his response.
He also said that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s recent statement was in reference to Interior Mohsin Naqvi’s visit to Iran and not any other visit.
Rubio said yesterday he believed that “Pakistanis will be travelling to Tehran today”, while Naqvi is already in Tehran and has been holding meetings with the political leadership.
Andrabi also said that Pakistani leadership was in contact with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, adding that “this is part of engagements with neighbouring countries”.
