LAHORE:
Iranian Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghadam on Wednesday met PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and appreciated Islamabad’s “principled stances and continued support” towards his country in various fields.
“Very honored to call on PML-N President Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif,” Mogahadam said in an article on X about the meeting. He added: “Reiterating the strong commitment of the Islamic Republic of Iran to further strengthen Iran-Pakistan relations, I expressed my sincere appreciation for the principled positions and continued support of the Government of Pakistan towards Iran in various fields.”
The envoy said he met with the father-daughter duo to exchange views on the latest regional developments, “especially in light of recent interventions by the United States and the Israeli regime, including their interventionist positions, threats and escalatory rhetoric.”
“We also discussed initiatives to further strengthen bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan,” he said.
Moghadam also acknowledged during the meeting the “tireless efforts” of the Pakistani government, particularly Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar, in their efforts to further promote comprehensive and all-round cooperation between the two nations.
