On the first visit of President Masood Pazeskian, Pakistan has supported Iran, saying that Tehran has the right to gain nuclear power for peaceful purposes, and Islamabad supports it on the issue.
“Pakistan stands with Iran to seek peaceful nuclear power,” Prime Minister Shahbaz said during a joint parade with Iranian President Masood Pajishkian, who is on his two -day visit to the country.
Pakistan’s support has come to the fore against the backdrop of the international opposition in relation to its nuclear program, which has recently become the focus of its war with Israel.
In this conflict, the United States strikes at several nuclear sites in Iran.
After the United States and its European allies, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, agreed to end the end of August to reach the nuclear deal with Iran, Tehran has held “Frank” nuclear talks with the European countries.
Along with China and Russia, the European countries, the rest of the parties in the 2015 agreement – from which the United States withdraws in 2018 – which lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for sanctions on its nuclear program.
The one -day date of October 18 is approaching when the expiry of the deal expires.
At this time, all UN sanctions on Iran will be lifted unless the “snapback” mechanism is mobilized at least 30 days ago. This will automatically resolve the sanctions that target the sectors from hydro carbon to banking and defense.
The target of trade
Addressing a joint pressure with the Iranian President, Prime Minister Shahbaz said that bilateral relations, geographical and other issues were discussed between the two countries.
“Today, several MOS have been signed with Iran. I hope they will soon take the form of contracts,” he added, adding that the two countries have set a trade target of $ 10 billion.
Extending Iran’s recent war with Israel, Prime Minister Shahbaz condemned the previous blasphemous attack and prayed for those killed in Iran.
Appreciating Tehran’s leadership for the support of the Palestinians, the Prime Minister compared the situation of Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), an Indian illegally occupied, while urging the civilized world to raise their voice against the atrocities in Gaza.
Prime Minister Shahbaz said, “The world should unite for peace in Gaza.”
Meanwhile, while expressing gratitude for hospitality, Iranian President Pazishkian called Pakistan his “second home”.
Saying that he had a fruitful conversation with the Pakistani leadership, the Iranian president thanked Islamabad for his support against Israeli aggression and emphasized the urgent need for unity in the Muslim Ummah.
Expressing his views on the bilateral relations between the two neighbors, the visiting honorees said that Pakistan Iran’s relations were based on shared culture and religion and good relations with Islamabad were part of Tehran’s foreign policy.
