"Relations with Pakistan are very important for the Islamic Republic of Iran, and we completely view this country with a sense of brotherhood. However, the relations between the two countries have had their ups and downs in recent years. We believe that with the new government in Pakistan, there is the possibility of a renewed peak in these relations," stated the Leader.
Referring to the emphasis of the late President Mr. Raisi on the importance of relations with Pakistan, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution added, “Mr. Raisi's recent visit to Pakistan can be a turning point in the relations between the two countries, and Dr. Mokhber will pursue the path of cooperation and agreements.
Imam Khamenei noted that “friendly relations between brotherly countries are not always a smooth process, and obstacles must be overcome and the progress of cooperation should be pursued diligently and put into action.”
During the meeting, Pakistani Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif also commended Mr. Raisi's recent visit to Pakistan as very productive, and one that laid the groundwork for further expansion of relations and a roadmap for the future. He expressed optimism that relations will be improved in various fields.
