On the third leg of his visit to Pakistan, Iranian President Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi on Tuesday arrived in the port city of Karachi.
The Iranian president touched down in Islamabad on Monday on a three-day official visit from April 22 to 24. Raisi’s visit is the first by any head of state to Islamabad after the February 8 general election.
Strict security measures have been taken, including air surveillance along with temporary internet suspension during the dignitary’s movement. To avoid the consequent inconvenience to the general public, the provincial governments announced a local holiday in Lahore and Karachi.
During his visit to Karachi, the Iranian leader will meet Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori and Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah.
Raisi will also visit Quaid’s mausoleum and pay his respects to the founder of Pakistan.
