Top regime officials will not travel to Pakistan until "appropriate conditions" are met, CBS News reported on Monday, citing comments by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei.

According to CBS, the comments came amid a Pakistani invitation for Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, to visit the country, with Baghaei saying that the trip will occur "whenever the appropriate conditions exist."

The report noted that Baghaei did not elaborate much on what would be discussed with Pakistani intermediaries during such a trip, though he added that the primary focus would be "bilateral relations."

Following the comments, Pakistan's Interior Minister Moshin Naqvi visited Tehran on Tuesday, Pakistani sources told Reuters.
