Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif posted: " Pakistan had the pleasure of hosting President Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian on a historic visit, less than a month ago.

Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian have died after the helicopter in which they were travelling crashed in a dense forest area in East Azerbaijan on Sunday, local media reports said.

On Monday morning, it was announced that all the passengers of the crashed helicopter were martyred, reported Mehr news agency.
