Muhammad Mudassir Tipusaid in an interview with IRNA on Monday that Pakistan enjoys close, long-standing relations and historical cooperation with Iran, adding that the neighboring countries are well aware of the sensitivity of bilateral relations as well as the unfolding events in the region.
Iran’s Foreign Minister’s visit to Pakistan is considered very important at the current time and shows the will of both neighbors to deal with common issues, said the ambassador who presented his credentials to Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi on Saturday.
Tipu said terrorism is a common challenge between Pakistan and Iran, adding that the two countries are aware of their common enemies and working together to overcome the challenges facing their relations.
Referring to the recent attack on Pakistani nationals in the southeastern Iranian city of Saravan, the Pakistani ambassador appreciated the cooperation shown by the Iranian government and authorities of Sistan and Baluchistan province and said the incident was in line with plots of enemies and terrorists to harm bilateral relations between the two countries.
The Iranian foreign minister arrived in Islamabad late on Sunday at the invitation of Jilani.
He had left Tehran’s Meharabad airport late on Sunday where he was seen off by Tipu.
