Iranian President’s Visit to Pakistan Marks Diplomatic Milestone: Focus on Economic and Security Ties

Islambad (NNP) In a landmark diplomatic event, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s recent visit to Pakistan has marked a pivotal turn in Iran-Pakistan relations. This video delves into the critical discussions that took place between President Raisi and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The leaders agreed to enhance economic and security ties, focusing significantly on counter-terrorism efforts and rejuvenating the multi-billion-dollar gas pipeline project stalled since 2014.

 

President Raisi’s visit underscores a concerted effort to mend fences and strengthen bilateral relationships, highlighting the strategic importance of regional peace and security. The discussions also extended to engagements with other key Pakistani figures, including Pakistan’s army chief Gen. Asim Munir and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, emphasizing regional peace, stability, and border security.

 

The revival of the gas pipeline project, initially launched during a visit by former Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari to Iran in 2013, was a central theme. This project is seen as a cornerstone for not only enhancing energy security in Pakistan but also as a symbol of cooperation between the two nations amidst geopolitical pressures.
