National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq has congratulated his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, on his re-election as the speaker of Iran’s parliament.

In a statement, he said Ghalibaf’s re-election is a “profound testament to the trust, confidence, and unwavering support reposed in his visionary leadership by the esteemed Members of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran”.

Recalling Ghalibaf’s visit to Pakistan last year, Sadiq remarked that the visit significantly contributed towards strengthening parliamentary diplomacy, people-to-people linkages and government-to-government engagements between Islamabad and Tehran.

Sadiq also expressed confidence that under his counterpart, parliamentary cooperation and institutional exchanges between Pakistan and Iran would witness further expansion and consolidation.
