Ahmed Amjad Ali, the Pakistani ambassador to Iraq, and Hamid Abbas lafta, the Iraqi ambassador, both attended the ceremony.

At that time, Bhutto expressed a positive assessment of the complex which houses the Pakistani embassy in Baghdad.

Foreign Minister Bhutto visited the shrine of Imam Musa Kazin A.S earlier Yesterday.

He made a special trip to the Imam Musa Kazim shrine where he planted a seedling on the sacred shrine's grounds.

Bilawal Bhutto was accompanied by Pakistan peoples party (PPP) leader Faisal Karim Kundi, Sindh's transport minister Sharjeel Memon, Sindh's local government minister, Syed sain nasir hussain shah, PPP leader Nadeem Afzal chan, PPP minister Mukesh Chawla, and Qasim Naveed Qamar during shrine visit. 




Today, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pakistan People's Party leader, and Foreign Minister, visited Imam Hussain and Abbas Alamdar Shrines.





At the grave of Imam Hussain, Chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari performed prayer and prayed for the prosperity of Pakistan.




 In a bid to boost bilateral trade volumes, foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Tuesday that the current level of trade is not up to par with the huge potential with Iraq. 

 Addressing the Pakistan-Iraq business council in Baghdad, he said the $20 million deal reached during the Pakistan country exhibition in March 2022 demonstrated the strong business potential between the two countries.

He expressed confidence that the Pakistan-Iraq trade forum would provide comparable opportunities for G2G (government-to-government) relations and trade networking between potential investors and trading partners of the two countries.

In five priority areas, including information technology, food security, energy, construction, and medicine, Bilawal emphasized the need for increased cooperation and joint investment.

9 Dead After Vehicles Came Under Terrorists Attack In Afghanistan

Afghanistan, (Daily Post). Insurgents attacked two vans in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e-Sharif on Thursday, killing at least nine people. "The bombs were installed inside the vans; as a result of those blasts, nine people were killed and 13 were injured," Mohammad Asif Waziri, the commander of Mazar-e-Sharif, said.  The local Shi'ite community operated and used the public transportation vans, he added.  The Shiite Muslim Hazara community, a minority Muslim sect in Afghanistan, is often attacked by armed groups, including the Islamic State.  The Taliban, who seized power following NATO's withdrawal, claimed earlier this week that they had eliminated the majority of the Islamic State's presence in Afghanistan.  Despite the Taliban claims, attacks on Shia Muslims continue in many parts of the country.
