Diplomatic sources told 24News TV channel that Abdollahian was expected to reach Pakistan on August 3.
He would hold meetings with Pakistani officials on August 3 and August 4 at which promotion of ties between the two countries as well as the regional situation would come under discussion, they explained.
The sources disclosed that there would be a special focus on security situation in Afghanistan since safe havens for militants inside Afghanistan are a major source of concern for both the countries.
They told 24News that during his recent visit to Iran, Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir had also discussed with Iranian officials threats emanating from the activities of banned outfits in Afghanistan.
Furthermore, they elaborated, there would be talks between the Iranian FM and his Pakistani counterpart Bilawal Bhutto Zardari following which they would both address a presser.
