“I believe that the tremendous potential of the two countries, besides the political will of the leaders and the support of the countries in the region … can elevate relations between Iran and Pakistan to a level that is befitting the two countries’ position in the Islamic world, and can produce a successful model of cooperation in solidarity and brotherhood,” Iran’s President Pezeshkian has said addressing a press conference.

He stated that Pakistan and Iran shared a resolve to enhance relations especially in the areas of economy and trade, noting that the ministers of both countries had tried to remove any existing technical hurdles and operationalise decisions made within the frameworks of the memoranda of understanding and agreements made during their trip last year.

“They have had very good and constructive discussions and they have achieved very good results,” he said.
