Pak-Iran ties

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif recent visit to Pakistan was to encourage collaboration between both countries, so there can be cooperation to eliminate terrorism from the region, increase bilateral trade, improve Pakistan-Iran border security and identify and remove all impediments in the way of improving relations. Additionally, the Iranian delegation discussed the matters pertaining to trade, energy, culture, people-to-people contacts and also invited Pakistan and China to invest in the port of Chabahar so that they can increase bilateral trade and security engagements.

The government of Pakistan should work diligently to open new channels of cooperation that best serve the interests of both countries. Our foreign policy must be guided by the fact that Pakistan needs to make new allies and strengthen relations with neighbouring countries. May the reciprocal visits help in strengthening our bilateral relationship with our Iranian friends.
