Iran Urges Implementation of Security Deal with Pakistan

Hailing the close cooperation between Iran and Pakistan, Momeni expressed hope that security interaction along the common border would boost mutual trade.

For his part, the Pakistani official described the common border as the frontier of friendship, peace and security.

Highlighting the mutual resolve to fight against terrorism and smuggling, Khurram Agha expressed hope that the trade exchanges between the two nations would hit tens of billions of dollars.
