TEHRAN, Iran: The Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar has reached Tehran to attend the Inauguration/Oath Ceremony of the President-elect of the Islamic Republic of Iran Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian.
On arrival at Tehran airport, Ishaq Dar was received by the Director General (West Asia) of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Seyed Rasoul Musavi and Ambassador of Pakistan to Iran Muhammad Mudassir Tipu.
His visit attests to the commitment by the two Countries to strengthen leadership-level engagement and bilateral cooperation.
More than 70 foreign delegates including senior officials and secretary generals of regional and international bodies are attending Iran’s President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian’s Swearing-in Ceremony in Tehran.
Last Sunday, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei formally endorsed Masoud Pezeshkian as Iran’s new President.
In a decree, Ayatollah Khamenei said, “The fate-determining test of the presidential election ended with calmness and sobriety in difficult conditions thanks to the endeavors of people and officials, and the person chosen by the nation became ready to take on a great responsibility.”
Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian was elected Iran’s next President in early July by securing 53.7 percent of the votes.
The Presidential Elections were held in Iran after President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in May 2024.
