Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has expressed complete solidarity with the government and people of Pakistan, saying Pakistan’s enemies will be considered the enemies of Iran.
“Iran shares a long history of friendship with Pakistan and enjoys common religious and cultural values. Iranian people will stand by the people of Pakistan in all times to come,” he said in meeting with Minster for Regulation & Services Firdous Ashiq Awan along with religious scholar Khanam Tayyaba Bokhari in Tehran.
The Iranian president discussed a wide range of issues with the Pakistani minister. The meeting lasted over an hour in which the president directed the cultural minister to prepare an official document supporting Iqbal Cultural Centre in Sailkot.
He directed the Iranian health minister to foster further relation in the field of pharmaceutical production and making use of technologies in each others’ countries. Ahmadinejad praised Firdous and Khanam for playing their role in bringing the relationship of the two countries closer. The MoUs between the two countries of the above mentioned initiatives will be signed during the Iranian president’s upcoming visit to Pakistan in August 2012.
