Pakistan's interior minister to visit Iran on Saturday amid US-Iran mediation push: Pakistani sources

Naqvi will meet senior Iranian leadership to discuss "some new proposals" to break the ongoing deadlock and to reach a temporary deal between Washington and Tehran, the sources in Islamabad said.

The Pakistani minister will also discuss reviving a second round of talks between the parties to end the conflict, they added.

Iran's semi-official news agency Mehr also reported that Naqvi will pay a visit to the country to hold talks amid Islamabad's ongoing mediation efforts.

The visit comes as Naqvi and his Iranian counterpart Eskandar Momeni met on Friday in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek, where they are attending a Shanghai Cooperation Organization interior ministers’ meeting.

Naqvi has been directly involved in negotiations with Tehran as Pakistan is mediating a possible agreement between the US and Iran to permanently end the war, which began on Feb. 28.
