Ghalibaf met with visiting Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in Tehran on Sunday.
During the meeting, Ghalibaf said, “Some regional governments thought that the presence of the US would bring them security, but recent events have shown that this presence not only fails to create security but also lays the groundwork for insecurity”.
He added, “We appreciate the support and cooperation of the Pakistani nation and government with the Islamic Republic of Iran during the recent major war. The Iranian people and officials fully understand the Pakistani government’s support, and the Leader of the Islamic Revolution also paid special attention to Pakistan in his first message”.
Ghalibaf said, “Bilateral relations between Tehran and Islamabad are currently good. Cooperation in political, economic, cultural, and security fields must increase and accelerate compared to the past. In this regard, enhancing parliamentary cooperation is also on our agenda.”
He added, “The recent war imposed on Iran demonstrated that the US and the Zionist regime only bring evil and insecurity to all nations and countries of our region.”
For his part, Naqvi hailed the Iranian delegation’s steadfastness during the Islamabad talks, focusing on Iran's national interests while working to resolve outstanding issues.
He expressed hope that Pakistan would be able to bring the negotiations to a successful conclusion.
