TABNAK, Nov, 06 : “We decided to enhance our moves on fighting terror outfits and act with more coordination,” said Araqchi who arrived in Pakistan Monday night as another leg of his regional tour.
“Hopefully, Iran and Pakistan are in much harmony about regional developments,” he noted.
Upon arrival in Islamabad, Araghchi told reporters that Iran and Pakistan share a special bond rooted in geographical proximity, historical ties, extensive people-to-people connections, and broad political, economic, and cultural interactions.
Araghchi said ties between the two countries have always been brotherly and friendly, noting that during this visit, efforts will be made to review a wide range of bilateral relations and comprehensive cooperation.
Araghchi and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday discussed efforts to boost relations and also to end Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza and prevent the regime from igniting a regional war.
According to a statement by the Pakistani government, Sharif put a premium on the country’s resolve to bolster brotherly ties with Iran through maintaining regular high-level exchanges and enhancing mutually advantageous cooperation across all spheres of shared interest.
He strongly condemned and expressed grave concern over Israel’s ongoing genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people.
The prime minister also emphasized the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, provision of unhindered humanitarian assistance and, above all, grant of the inalienable right to self-determination to the Palestinian people, as guaranteed to them by the relevant resolutions of the UN.
Iran’s foreign minister arrived in Pakistan’s capital for a two-day official visit on Monday night.
