MP Kazem Jalali of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee has condemned terrorist operations in Pakistan.
In a Friday meeting with Pakistan’s acting Prime Minister, Muhammad Mian Soomro, in Islamabad, the MP said that Iran itself had been a victim of terrorism and understands the ongoing circumstances in Pakistan.“We hope the Pakistani government and nation will find a lasting solution to the problem through strengthening national unity,” Jalali added.
He stated that no issue could negatively affect the deep-rooted ties between Tehran and Islamabad and stressed the importance of boosting cooperation and convergence between the two sides at the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
For his part, Soomro said that terrorism threatens the entire region and urged regional countries to adopt joint efforts to fight against it.
He added that Pakistan attaches special importance to expanding all-out ties with Iran and said that the project to transfer Iran’s gas to Pakistan would have economic benefits for Islamabad as well as reinforcing regional convergence.
