Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, brought up the Kashmir dispute, but Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi did not respond to his attempt to have a conversation on the area.
In an attempt to improve relations between the two nations, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is currently visiting Pakistan, months after airstrikes were conducted against suspected terrorist hideouts on neighboring territory. Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, brought up the Kashmir dispute during the negotiations, but the president of Iran did not respond to his attempt to have a conversation on the area. Instead, Ebrahim Raisi brought up the subject of Palestine and how Iran has persisted in aiding Palestinians battling injustice.
Both nations have charged one another with giving armed organizations a safe home. Iran began airstrikes targeting suspected terrorist hideouts in the unrest-plagued province of Balochistan in January of this year. Pakistan launched missiles and killer drones into Iran’s Siestan-Balochistan region in retaliation for the missile attack, claiming to have carried out “precision military strikes” against “terrorist hideouts.” But neither nation raised the stakes in the conflict.

What did Iran, Pakistan talk about?
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is visiting Pakistan to hold discussions on religious, cultural, diplomatic, investment, and security issues to mend the strained ties.
Iran and Pakistan both committed to working together to combat terrorism. The two nations inked at least eight documents to advance their collaboration in some areas. The two leaders also had discussions about boosting trade and communication between their two nations.
President Raisi stated, “We are committed to strengthening relations at the highest levels,” during a press conference. It is unacceptable how much commerce and economic activity there is between Pakistan and Iran. First, we have agreed to raise trade volume to $10 billion between our two nations.”
“We have to keep this relationship strong despite the challenges we both face,” Shehbaz Sharif remarked. Iran and Pakistan may thrive, and developments can be seen across our borders.” In their conversations, he brought up the topic of Kashmir, which the Iranian President did not address.
