AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has urged Pakistan to assist in foiling plots and destroying terrorist hideouts in its territories.
Amirabdollahian told his Pakistani counterpart Jalil Abbas Jilani in a phone call that the Islamic Republic of Iran respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the brotherly country of Pakistan.
The Iranian top diplomat also called for the pursuit of security and military cooperation seriously, noting that Iranian forces will not allow terrorist groups to carry out sabotage in the country.
Pointing to Iran’s recent attack on a hideout of the so-called Jaish al-Adl terrorist group inside Pakistani soil, he argued that intelligence documents showed that over 50 terrorists were getting ready to conduct terrorist attacks on Iran.
He further said that under the current circumstances in Palestine, where the Israeli regime is committing crimes against the oppressed nation, influential countries of the Islamic world such as Iran and Pakistan are expected to maintain unity.
Pakistani foreign minister, for his part, emphasized that both nations have a common attitude in the fight against terrorism, adding that Islamabad underlines the need for maintaining constructive and brotherly ties with Tehran.
In the phone conversation, the Pakistani top diplomat officially invited his Iranian counterpart to visit Islamabad.
