\nShahbaz Sharif reiterated that Pakistan is committed to establishing regional peace and will always support dialogue and diplomatic initiatives. In response, President Peishkian expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Eshaq Dar, Field Marshal Asim Munir and other top Pakistani leaders.

During the meeting, the two leaders reviewed the progress of the decisions taken during President Peishkian\u2019s visit to Islamabad last month. They also agreed to implement them expeditiously to strengthen bilateral cooperation in various fields.
\nShahbaz Sharif conveyed his greetings and respect to Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei. The two leaders agreed to continue regular contacts and discussions on issues of mutual interest and regional peace in the future.
\nMeanwhile, Shahbaz Sharif also spoke to Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani over the phone.
