Pakistan Keen to Cooperate with Iran on Regional, Int'l Scenes
TEHRAN (FNA)- Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar voiced her country's willingness to increase cooperation with Iran in regional and international fields.
The issue was raised by Rabbani Khar in a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi on the sidelines of the 66th UN General Assembly meeting in New York on Tuesday.
At the meeting, the two sides discussed the trend of bilateral ties between Tehran and Islamabad in political, economic, cultural, regional and international aspects and explored avenues for facilitating expedition of bilateral agreements.
During the meeting, Rabbani pointed to the friendly ties between the two countries, and stressed the importance of the implementation of the two countries' agreements in various fields, including energy, refinery construction and a multi-billion dollar pipeline project that is due to transfer Iran's gas to the energy-hungry South Asian state.
Salehi, for his part, underlined the necessity for cooperation between the two Islamic and neighboring states on regional and international scenes.
The reciprocal visits paid by senior Iranian and Pakistani officials to the two countries' capitals during the last few weeks herald a new era of ties and cooperation between the two Muslim neighboring nations.
Earlier in September, Salehi was in Islamabad at the head of a ranking politico-economic delegation to attend a meeting of the two countries' joint economic cooperation commission in a bid to explore new avenues for cooperation, pursue implementation of agreements, and prepare the grounds for the Pakistani premier's visit to Tehran which took place a few days later.
Pakistani analysts believe that the country's Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani's two-day visit to Iran has proved to be a highly productive one as it has brought the two brotherly countries still closer in different fields. Apart from greater understanding on political and regional issues, the leadership of the two countries had fruitful exchange of views on cementing ties in various sectors to the mutual advantage.
