Veep calls for Muslim unity to fight off Israel
Aref made the remarks in a meeting with Pakistan’s Minister of National Food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain in Tehran.
The Iranian official said that the Israeli regime is committing brutal crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the Islamic Republic seeks unity and cohesion among influential Muslim countries to confront the regime.
“We must not allow the oppressed people of Gaza to face such brutality from the usurping Zionist regime in their own land,” Aref said.
Isarel’s strikes on the Gaza Strip have claimed the lives of more than 62,000 Palestinians since October 2023.
The first vice president also underlined that the strategy of Iran is based on strengthening bilateral relations with major neighboring and regional countries and is fully prepared to expand and deepen interactions in all fields and to utilize each other’s capacities.
Aref also welcomed the formation of the joint agricultural committee between Iran and Pakistan.
On Monday, Iran and Pakistan agreed to more than double the value of their annual agricultural trade amid efforts by the two neighbors to bolster their political and economic cooperation.
“We are ready to cooperate bilaterally and regionally in advanced technologies, especially artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. The joint commission for economic cooperation should also become more active than before, and the agreed strategies should be implemented so that we witness a major development in relations,” Aref said.
