Iran’s interior minister arrives

ISLAMABAD: Iranian Interior Minister Dr Ahmad Vahidi on Monday arrived in Islamabad on a day-long visit at the invitation of Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed.

Rashid received his counterpart along with nine-member delegation, said a statement issued by the Ministry of Interior.

During his maiden visit, Vahidi will meet Prime Minister Imran Khan, Sheikh Rashid, and other senior officials.
