Raisi prioritizes security at Iran-Pakistan border
Raisi made the statement in a meeting with Pakistan’s new Ambassador to Tehran Muhammad Mudassir Tipu on Saturday as the diplomat submitted his credentials to the president, Press TV reported.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes borders are an opportunity for economic exchanges and the promotion of security of the neighboring countries,” the president said.
He urged the two countries to implement common plans to battle terrorism and organized crime.
The Pakistani envoy, for his part, hailed Raisi’s effective role in settling recent tensions between the two countries and welcomed the Iranian president’s roadmap to a coherent community of regional countries.
In a post on his X account earlier in day, Mohammad Jamshidi, the Iranian president’s deputy chief of staff for political affairs, also pointed to the meeting between Raisi and Mudassir. “It’s the US that benefits from terrorism. Our borders are opportunity, not threat,” Jamshidi wrote.
“Strong Pakistan and Iran are critical for region and to promote historic people to people ties. Time to turn a new leaf,” Mudassir wrote in his X account.
