ISLAMABAD: Iran and Pakistan need to further improve their bilateral relations through increased focus on business and commercial activities, said Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Mehdi Honardoost.
“Economic progress is vital for prosperity, which is dependent upon peace and cordial relationship between both countries,” the ambassador agreed with MQM’s Deputy Parliamentary Leader Senator Barrister Dr. Muhammad Ali Saif, who called on him at the Iranian Embassy.
Apart from issues of mutual interest, they also discussed the impact of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the positive role of Gwadar and Chahbahar ports on Pak-Iran economy.
Senator Saif stressed that both the brotherly countries need to focus on regional issues in a friendly manner and never allow misunderstandings and regional disputes to damage the cordial relationship between both the neighbors.
