Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has left Islamabad and is en route to Russia, according to Iranian state broadcaster IRIB.
Araghchi will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday and “consult with Russian officials on the latest status of the negotiations, the ceasefire and surrounding developments,” the semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency reported earlier, citing Iran’s ambassador to Moscow.
The foreign minister’s departure marks the end of two visits to Pakistan in 48 hours, as hopes for further face-to-face US-Iranian talks dissipated.
Soon after IRIB published its report, Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam thanked Pakistani leadership for “their tireless efforts” to end the war.
