The two officials discussed the expansion of ties in various
fields, including economy, security, and military domains. Cultural exchanges
and the need to further increase them was another focus of discussions.
“Pakistan is an important neighbor of Iran. This means that
we should do our best to further enhance our ties,” Zarif said to the envoy.
The Iranian official who served as the country’s foreign
minister for 8 years in the 2010s, traveled to Pakistan multiple times during
his long tenure as a diplomat.
For his part, Tipu briefed Zarif on the current state of bilateral
ties, and reciprocated sentiments about the importance of enhanced cooperation
between the two historically friendly countries.
Iran and Pakistan have taken multiple steps to increase
cooperation in recent years. Notably, a massive border market was inaugurated
in 2023 by the leaders of the two countries.
Security collaboration has also become extremely
significant, with the two nations facing similar threats posed by terrorists
and smugglers.
