Tehran : Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki will pay an official visit to Pakistan on Friday during which he is scheduled to pay tribute to the assassinated former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, the official IRNA news agency reported Thursday.
According to the report, Iran’s embassy in Islamabad said Mottaki will hold talks with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, caretaker Prime Minister Muhammad Mian Soomro as well as his Pakistani counterpart Inamul Haq during the day-long trip.
Besides the meetings, Mottaki will also visit the grave of Bhutto who was assassinated in a suicide attack last Thursday.
Iran has strongly condemned the “terrorist” attack and urged the Pakistani government to bring to justice those behind such a “criminal act”, saying the assassination was aimed at disrupting calm in the neighboring and Muslim countries.
