Pakistan army chief holds talks with Iran speaker Ghalibaf

Pakistan's army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir on Thursday met with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's state television reported.

"Field Marshal Asim Munir, Commander of the Pakistan Army, who travelled to our country yesterday, met and held talks with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf... this Thursday morning, April 16," the report said.

There were no other details about their meeting.

After the Islamabad talks over the weekend ended without any breakthrough, Pakistan has been pushing for a second round of peace talks between Washington and Tehran.

There has been no decision whether negotiations would resume. However, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday that further talks "would very likely" take place in Islamabad.
