He highlighted the necessity to expand trade between the two countries to its fullest potential.

The discussion also included the situation in Afghanistan, where Araqchi stressed the importance of continued cooperation between Iran and Pakistan on regional matters. After a productive one-day visit, Araqchi concluded his discussions in Islamabad and departed for Tehran.
