Pak-Iran Ties Entering New Era of Friendship: Iranian Envoy

Islamabad: Iranian Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghadam has said the stature and reputation of Iran-Pakistan relations stand as high as the majestic peaks of Damavand and K2. In a message posted on social media platform X, he said the brotherly relations have reached such a level that no challenge, phenomenon, or external factor can weaken the bonds of love, friendship, and brotherhood between the two nations.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Iranian Ambassador expressed the belief that the friendship and brotherhood between Iran and Pakistan can serve as a role model of mutual respect, sincere brotherhood, good neighborliness, and the spirit of "We Can Do It" for the entire region. He prayed for the day when all Muslim and neighboring countries of this region will work together, hand in hand, in an atmosphere of peace, stability, and security, free from external threats and destructive wars, to build a future of development, prosperity, and lasting welfare for their peoples.

Reza Amiri Moghadam highlighted that the historical relations between Iran and Pakistan have proudly withstood the test of time. Rooted in centuries of shared history, civilization, faith, and culture, the bond remains strong and enduring. He emphasized that Iran was the first country to recognize Pakistan, and Pakistan was the first to recognize Iran, milestones that reflect the exceptional nature of their relations, which have now entered a new, unique era.

The Ambassador noted the remarkable strengthening and solidification of ties over the past two years, a development evident to all and impossible to enumerate fully. He mentioned that parliamentarians of both countries have consistently stood together in support and solidarity with one another. On the first day of aggression by the Israeli regime, representatives of the Pakistani parliament issued a resolution in support of Iran. In response, members of the Iranian Parliament chanted, "Pakistan Tashakur," while the people of Iran echoed this sentiment, proudly waving the flags of both nations side by side.

Reza Amiri Moghadam recalled that in his first Nowruz message, the new Supreme Leader of Iran referred to the importance of Iran's relations with Pakistan, underscoring the significance of this enduring partnership. The past two years have seen numerous exchanges of high-level visits, including President Masoud Pezeshkian's visits to Pakistan, several visits by the Prime Minister of Pakistan to Iran, multiple visits by Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, and many other exchanges at the senior official level, reflecting the depth of friendship, brotherhood, solidarity, and mutual support.

The Ambassador also highlighted that in June 2026, President Masoud Pezeshkian paid a memorable visit to Islamabad to convey the heartfelt gratitude of Iran's Government and people to Pakistan. Likewise, the Pakistani delegation that participated in the ceremony to pay tribute to the martyred Supreme Leader of Iran attended at the highest level, with the largest-ever delegation of senior dignitaries, symbolizing solidarity and mutual respect.
