Pakistan to rename street in Islamabad as Iran Avenue

Islamabad, IRNA – Concurrent with a visit by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to Pakistan, a street in the capital city of Islamabad is scheduled to be named "Iran Avenue" as a symbol of friendship and good neighborliness between the two countries.

The renaming ceremony will be held in the presence of President Raisi and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif following their official meeting in Islamabad on Monday.

The street, which was named Eleventh Avenue, will be renamed simultaneously with a visit by a high-ranking Iranian delegation to Pakistan.

Naming streets after renowned Iranian and Pakistani figures is part of the cultural relationship between the two nations.

The Islamic Republic of Iran named some of the streets and highways in Tehran after Pakistani figures such as Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Muhammad Iqbal Lahori.
