ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi responds over Iranian allegations of sponsoring terrorism in Iran.
Iran had Pakistan responsible for an attack that killed more than 20 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
Qureshi said that he had assured Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif that Pakistan would "never condone [any terrorist] activity".
"We have always condemned such activity. Iran is our neighbour and we would never cause any problem for them," Qureshi said.
"We respect their sovereignty and territorial integrity and I'm sure they respect ours."
He said that Pakistan would be "helpful" if Iran comes forward with any evidence. He recalled that Pakistan had cooperated with Iran in the past to "overcome these difficulties".
