Amid the arrival of Iranian President, public holiday has been announced in Karachi on April 23 (Tuesday), reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In a notification issued on Sunday, the Karachi commissioner said all public and private offices and schools will remain closed in the city.

It is pertinent to mention that the public holiday has been announced owing to the arrival of Iranian President in Karachi.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will make an official visit to Pakistan this week, as the two Muslim neighbours seek to mend ties after tit-for-tat missile strikes in January.

The visit, which Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said would take place from Monday to Wednesday, had been in doubt as Middle East tensions rose after Iran launched an unprecedented attack on Israel a week ago and central Iran received what sources said was an Israeli attack on Friday.
