Notably, this visit holds particular ignificance as it marks the first official visit by a foreign leader to Pakistan following the February 8 polls. Given the backdrop of tensions between Iran and Israel, the visit will undoubtedly be closely monitored, especially by the United States, for its potential implications on regional dynamics.
