Ishaq Dar said Raisi will arrive in the capital, Islamabad, on April 22 on an official three-day visit.
Dar provided no further details, but the visit seems to be part of efforts by the two sides to mend ties which had briefly been strained in January when Tehran and Islamabad carried out tit-for-tat strikes targeting militants accused of attacking each other's security forces.
But the two sides soon agreed to work together to improve security cooperation.
The visit was announced days after Iran launched unprecedented retaliatory air strikes on Israel following an Israeli strike on the Iranian consular building in Syria, which killed two Iranian generals.
Pakistan is among the countries that have no diplomatic relations with Israel because of the lingering issue of Palestinian statehood.
Dar said Pakistan wants the issue to be settled according to U.N. resolutions.
