Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has arrived in Tehran on his two-day official visit to hold talks with the Iranian leadership on bilateral relations, including trade and economic ties.
During his visit at the invitation of Iranian Foreign Minister Dr Amir Abdollahian, Bilawal will hold delegation-level talks with his counterpart and they will review all facets of bilateral relations, including trade and economic ties, electricity supply from Iran, border sustenance markets, road and rail connectivity and facilitation of pilgrims.
The two countries are celebrating seventy-five years of establishment of diplomatic ties this year.
Iran is currently supplying electricity to Gwadar and Pakistan, who is facing energy shortages, is keen to further enhance that cooperation.
However, there has been no mention of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project that was signed during the Pakistan People Party’s (PPP) term between 2008 and 2013. Iran has completed work on its side of the border but Pakistan has not undertaken the project.
Earlier on May 26, Bilawal had met the Iranian foreign minister on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum and reaffirmed Pakistan’s desire to strengthen Pak-Iran fraternal ties in all areas of mutual interest.
