Pakistan Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar arrived in Dhaka on an official visit on Saturday.

Foreign Secretary Asad Alam Siam received the Pakistan Foreign Minister upon his arrival, a senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told UNB.

During the tw-day visit, Ishaq Dar will have important meetings with Bangladeshi leaders, including Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus and Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain.

Discussions are expected to cover the full range of bilateral relations as well as regional and international issues of mutual interest, a statement issued by the foreign ministry said.

Referring to 1971 issues with Pakistan, Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on August 4 said each issue would be on the table for discussions with his Pakistani counterpart during his visit.

Ishaq Dar's previous scheduled visit to Bangladesh in April was postponed amid escalating tensions between Pakistan and India following a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. Later, the two sides finalised new the schedule through mutual consultations.
