Pak delegation to attend funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: PM Shehbaz Sharif

  • On Friday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a Pakistani delegation will attend the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, scheduled for July 3-4, following the Iranian leader's assassination in U.S.-Israeli strikes in February.
  • Sharif spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Thursday, during which the Iranian leader expressed gratitude for Pakistan's support during difficult times following the supreme leader's death.
  • Addressing lawmakers, Sharif boasted of Pakistan's role in the peace agreement between the United States and Iran, praising Army chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir for his "most significant role" in the deal.
  • The National Assembly adopted a resolution praising the government's mediation efforts, while Sharif invited Iranian President Pezeshkian to visit Pakistan, an invitation the Iranian leader accepted.
  • Sharif expressed confidence that the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding will foster regional prosperity and economic cooperation, as the ceasefire has already lowered international oil prices and eased economic pressure.
