His visit to Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s mausoleum, known as the ‘poet of the East,’ showed how both countries share a love for literature and knowledge. President Raisi wanted to talk directly to the Pakistani people during his visit, which shows he wants to connect with them. Even though it didn’t happen due to some problems, acknowledging it shows he values honest conversations.
