The United States has reacted to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s scheduled visit to Pakistan on April 22.

Addressing a news briefing in Washington Vedant Patel, Principal Deputy Spokesperson of the US State Department said, that in context to Iran “I’m confident in saying that unleashing hundreds and hundreds of UAVs and ballistic missiles on Israel is certainly not any kind of action that is actually in the interest and for the benefit of the Palestinian people.”

However, he said that as it relates to any visits that other foreign ministers or leaders might have, “I will let their governments comment on that specifically.”

Answering a question regarding Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s US visit, Vedant Patel said “The minister of finance is in the United States for a part of a series of engagements with – not just within the US Government interagency, but also engaging in – with non-governmental organizations. And he met with senior State Department officials here.”

He added that “during the meetings from our end, we encouraged Pakistan to prioritize and expand economic reforms, to address its own economic challenges.”
