TEHRAN – Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan is scheduled to visit Iran, heralding a new chapter for further cooperation between the two friendly countries.

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said Imran Khan will pay an official visit to Iran in the near future but the details of the visit would be announced later, IRNA reported on Sunday.

The visit has been due since Imran Khan took over as prime minister last August.

It comes at a time when bitter border incidents drew strong protests from Iran which holds Pakistani government accountable for failure to secure the common borders.
