Pakistani leader Shehbaz Sharif met with visiting Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in Islamabad on Monday, according to Prime Minister Sharif's office.

The pair had a "vibrant discussion" on advancing bilateral relations, specifically in trade and communication, and "agreed on the necessity for joint efforts by both countries to combat terrorism," Sharif's office said.

Sharif lauded Iran for taking a strong stand on the humanitarian situation in Gaza and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities there.

Addressing a joint press conference alongside Raisi in Islamabad, Sharif called on Muslim countries to unite and raise their voice for an end to the conflict.
