AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Pakistani Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani has reaffirmed Islamabad’s unwavering commitment to cooperating with Iran on combating terrorism as a “collective” threat to peace and security of the region.
Jilani made the remarks during a telephone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian on Monday, during which they discussed matters of bilateral and regional importance, IRNA’s office in Islamabad reported, citing the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Pakistan's top diplomat strongly condemned the Friday terrorist attack on a police headquarters in southeastern Iran, which killed eleven security personnel. The Pakistan-based so-called Jaish-ul-Adl terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack.
Jilani said Pakistan was committed to working closely with Iran in confronting the threat of terrorism.
The two sides also discussed the Israeli regime’s genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Pakistani minister underlined the urgency of a ceasefire in Gaza, as well as lifting of the siege and providing humanitarian aid to the territory.
Jilani and Amirabdollahian also discussed ways to further improve the “brotherly ties” between Iran and Pakistan.
