After the two countries' national anthems were played, President Raisi proceeded to review the guard of honor present at the venue.
He had earlier planted a sapling of friendship in the Prime Minister of Pakistan House.
Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with IRNA, Pakistani Federal Minister for Housing and Works Riaz Hussain Pirzada praised Iran's brave positions in confronting the Zionist regime's conspiracies.
He termed Iran as a source of pride in the Islamic world, saying that President Raisi's visit was a clear message to the common enemies of Iran and Pakistan.
President Raisi's visit to Islamabad takes place at a time when the common enemies of both neighboring countries spare no effort to harm bilateral relations, he added.
He criticized the double standard of the Western countries and the supporters of the Israeli regime in terms of human rights and interaction with independent countries.
I believe that a regional block including Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey is capable of strengthening the common front to secure common interests and fight against the challenges, he said.
