The president said the respective state heads accepted his invitation to tour Pakistan. He said in a session of the four presidents, President Rouhani raised the issue of abduction of Iranian guards and the alleged killing of one of them at which President Mamnoon clearly said that Pakistan had nothing to do with the tragic incident.
