Iran envoy hails strong Pakistan ties

Relationship has entered a new era, says Moghadam

Iranian Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghadam has said the stature and reputation of Iran-Pakistan relations stand as high as the majestic peaks of Damavand and K2, Radio Pakistan reported on Sunday.

In a message posted on social media platform X, the envoy observed that the brotherly relations have reached such a level that no challenge, phenomenon, or external factor can weaken the bonds of love, friendship, and brotherhood between the two nations.

The Iranian ambassador expressed the belief that the friendship and brotherhood between Iran and Pakistan can serve as a role model of mutual respect, sincere brotherhood, good neighborliness, and the spirit of "We Can Do It" for the entire region.

He prayed for the day when all Muslim and neighbouring countries of the region work together, hand in hand, in an atmosphere of peace, stability, and security, free from external threats and destructive wars, to build a future of development, prosperity, and lasting welfare for their peoples.

Moghadam highlighted that the historical relations between Iran and Pakistan have proudly withstood the test of time. Rooted in centuries of shared history, civilization, faith, and culture, our bond remains strong and enduring.

He recalled that Iran was the first country to recognise Pakistan, while Pakistan was the first country to recognise Iran. These milestones reflect the exceptional nature of the two countries' relations and ties, which have now entered a new and unique era unlike any in the past.

The ambassador stated that the parliamentarians of the two countries have consistently stood together in support and solidarity with one another.

He said the strength of bilateral ties was well recognised by the people and governments of both countries, adding that on the first day of the Israeli regime's aggression, Pakistan's parliament unanimously passed a resolution expressing support for Iran.

Moghadam recalled that in his first Nowruz message, the new Supreme Leader of Iran also referred to the importance of Iran's relations with Pakistan, underscoring the significance of this enduring partnership.
