A source in Pakistan's Interior Ministry said Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni will visit Islamabad on Monday, as Pakistan continues to play a mediating role between Washington and Tehran.
The source told AFP that Momeni will hold talks with Pakistani officials, but did not specify whether the visit is linked to Pakistan's mediation efforts to end the conflict between the United States and Iran.
Earlier on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said during a press conference that diplomatic contacts with the United States through intermediaries are continuing despite recent US military strikes on Iran.
Pakistan said last week it would "continue encouraging all parties to end the violence and resume technical discussions" under the memorandum of understanding signed by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in mid-June.
Doubts have emerged over the interim agreement between Washington and Tehran and the prospects of securing a path toward a permanent end to the war after hostilities resumed earlier this month.
Momeni has previously taken part in mediation talks and met with Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who has visited Tehran several times.
