Responding to a question regarding cooperation of Iran and Pakistan for better security the Chief Justice said: though this is an issue related to the executive but I feel that if there is a will, there is a way, so if misunderstandings created by some foreign countries between two countries are removed, then both can move forward in a positive direction. “I cannot forget that Iran was the first country in the world which had accepted the independence of Pakistan but still there are some countries in this region that are adamant to disintegrate the unity of Pakistan and Iran,” he said.
