President Underlines Iran, Pakistan's Role in Defending Regional Peace

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stressed the important role of Iran and Pakistan for protecting regional peace and security, and urged closer ties between the two neighboring states.
In a meeting with the new Pakistani ambassador to Tehran, the President reiterated that the two Iranian and Pakistani nations enjoy close and amicable ties in all areas.

Underlining the need for further expansion of all-out cooperation between the two neighboring states, he reiterated that bilateral cooperation would benefit the whole region.

He said there are great potentials in the two countries in various fields of culture, economy, investment, energy and trade which should be materialized.

During the meeting, the new Pakistani ambassador presented his credentials to the Iranian President.

He, meanwhile, called for strengthening of amicable ties between the two nations, particularly political and economic relations.

Earlier this month, Ahmadinejad in a meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari in Tehran underscored the necessity for the expansion of cooperation between the two neighbors in all arenas, specially in agricultural, industrial and energy fields.

Iran and Pakistan have in recent years increased their bilateral ties and mutual cooperation in different fields, and officials of both countries have repeatedly underlined that these bonds of friendship and brotherhood, based on commonality of interests, shared traditions, common faith and Islamic heritage, are destined to grow stronger in the years ahead to the mutual benefit of the two nations.

The two countries' nations are deeply keen to further strengthen their bilateral ties in all fields. These relations have been marked by frequent high-level consultations between the leadership of the two countries.
