Rasoul Mousavi, who serves as Director General of Iran Foreign Ministry’s South Asia Affairs, wrote in a Persian post on the X on Tuesday that Amirabdollahian's visit to Islamabad that took place a day earlier was an opportunity to move on from "incidents" toward a better future in bilateral ties.
Mousavi was referring to missile strikes carried out by Iran and Pakistan earlier this month on targets controlled by terrorists in border regions.
"What happened in Iran-Pakistan ties was a threat that was turned into an opportunity with the visit by our country's foreign minister (to Pakistan)," said the diplomat.
Amirabdollahian met with senior Pakistani government officials during his Monday trip to Islamabad, including with his counterpart Jalil Abbas Jilani as well as with Prime Minister Anwaar ul-Haq Kakar, Pakistani Army Chief Syed Asim Munir.
The visit to Pakistan was a third by Amirabdollahian since he became Iran's foreign minister in August 2021.
