Pakistan’s relations with Iran are marked by close historic and cultural linkages and strong people to people exchanges. The PM’s visit to Iran will further the close bilateral relationship between the two countries.
Earlier today, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the Omara terror attack would have no adverse impact on Prime Minister Imran Khan's visit to Iran.
Talking to a private news channel, he said the leadership of both countries would discuss the establishment of a mechanism to prevent such incidents in future by securing the border. Qureshi said Pakistan has always supported Iran in difficult circumstances and expects the same from Tehran.
He said Pakistan has shared actionable intelligence with Iran and even the locations of anti-Pakistan elements' training camps across the border have been pointed out.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi hoped that Iran would take visible action against these anti-Pakistan elements operating from its soil and conspiring to undermine the bilateral relations.
The minister said he had a detailed telephonic conversation with his Iranian counterpart and conveyed the sentiments of Pakistani nation, who in return, condemned the incident and assured to extend all out support to Pakistan in punishing the perpetrators.
