Iran’s Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghadam on Wednesday met PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and appreciated Islamabad’s “principled positions and continued support” towards his country in various areas.
“It is a great honor to visit PML-N President Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif,” Mogahadam said in a post on X about the meeting. He added: “Reiterating the firm commitment of the Islamic Republic of Iran to further improve relations between Iran and Pakistan, 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 had met with the father-daughter duo to exchange views on the latest regional developments, “particularly 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 aimed at further strengthening 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 government of Pakistan, particularly Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar, in their efforts to further promote comprehensive and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations.
