ISLAMABAD (HRNW) – Close on the heels of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s official visit to Pakistan, the federal government on Monday renamed Islamabad’s 11th Avenue as ‘Iran Avenue’, a sign of the strengthening and consolidation of bilateral ties and friendship between the neighbouring countries.
According to details, the Interior Ministry has, after the approval, written a letter to the Capital Development Authority (CDA) seeking the implementation on the order to rename the highway running through the capital.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi touched down in Islamabad on a three-day Pakistan visit on Monday morning.
Upon arrival at the Nur Khan Airbase, Raisi was warmly received by Federal Minister Riaz Hussain Pirzada.
This is the first visit by any head of state to Pakistan after the general elections in February 2024.
