The president of Iran said he intended to speak at a “public gathering” in Pakistan.

President Raisi paid his respects at Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s mausoleum in Lahore. “I wanted to address a public rally in Pakistan, but the conditions were such that it could not be made possible,” he remarked.

According to Raisi, he did not feel alienated while in Pakistan and that the Pakistani people held “special emotions and connection” with him that maintained the bond between the two countries.

He gave Pakistan credit for taking a moral stance on Gaza.

Because Allama Iqbal was such an inspiration, the Iranian president went on to emphasise how significant Allama Iqbal was to Iran.

As part of his official visit to Pakistan, Iranian President Raisi arrived in Lahore early on Tuesday morning.

At the airport, Raisi and his delegation were met by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.

As Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is visiting the city, Punjab has also declared today as a public holiday in Lahore to prevent traffic problems for the general people.
