TEHRAN/WASHINGTON/CAIRO - Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi will not hold any negotiations with US officials during his visit to Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Friday.

During the visit, Araghchi will hold talks solely with the Pakistani side on Iran's considerations about the end of the war with the US and Israel, the report added.

Iran's state-run IRIB TV reported that while Araghchi does not have a plan to meet with the Americans, "Islamabad, as a bridge of communication, will 'convey' Iran's considerations for ending the conflicts."

Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the Iranian delegation led by Araghchi arrived in Pakistan on Friday night.

The Iranian foreign minister's trip will also include visits to Oman and Russia.
