Pezeshkian calls for Muslim nations’ unity to promote peace, stability in region
Pezeshkian and Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa emphasized the need to strengthen solidarity and interaction between Islamic countries to promote peace, stability, and lasting security in the region.
The two leaders also congratulated Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, to each other during a phone conversation on Saturday. Iranian president also made a separate phone conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during which Pezeshkian expressed Iran’s readiness to broker lasting peace between Pakistan and India.
The Iranian president said that Iran's principled policy focuses on promoting de-escalation and fostering peace globally, particularly within the Islamic world.
“The Islamic Republic welcomes any measures and efforts towards establishing lasting peace between Pakistan and India, and it can play a mediating role to that aim,” he added.
He also congratulated the Pakistani prime minister on the Eid al-Adha, emphasizing the need for unity among Muslim nations.
Sharif recalled his recent visit to Tehran, where he held productive discussions on defense, security, economic, and other matters.
He also expressed hope that bilateral agreements signed between Pakistan and Iran will be implemented.
Commending Iran's position on the Pakistan-India tensions, he reaffirmed Islamabad's commitment to dialogue with New Delhi to achieve peace and welcomed Iran's mediation in that regard.
In May, India and Pakistan engaged in the most intense fighting in decades that included fighter jets, missiles, and explosive-laden drones. The four-day conflict ended with a cease-fire.
Pezeshkian also extended Eid al-Adha greeting to his Algerian counterpart, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, in a phone call on Saturday.
The Iranian president called for deeper bilateral relations and stronger unity among Muslim countries, especially in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
He emphasized strengthening ties in political, economic, scientific, cultural, and technological fields between Tehran and Algiers.
