Iran-Pakistan ties
Pakistanis Prime Minister travelled to Iran amid US sanctions with the aim of boosting trades with his neighboring country.
Iran has received a long-overdue visit from the Pakistani 22nd Prime Minister Imran Khan. Although the two countries share over 900 kilometers of border land and numerous cultural values and the strong bond between the nations of the two, the level of economic transactions is very low.
Paksitans Premiers visit is in great part planned to discuss border security, as Iran and Pakistan share strategic transit routes and areas that can be a phenomenal source of income if not left to extremists making money off smuggling to back their terrorist activities.
Iran and the Indian subcontinent are among the worlds oldest and lasting civilizations, with relations no more recent than 3000 BC! When Muslim India save for Kashmir fully separated from India and transformed into Pakistan, the worlds first Islamic Republic, Iran embraced it with open arms. And till today Iran has maintained its neighborly relations while securing goodwill also with India.
Pakistan was the first state to recognize the Islamic Republic of Iran and aided Iran when Baathist Iraq attacked Iran in the 1980s. I refer to the Iraq Iran war panning from 1980 to 1988, in which Saddam used chemical weapons on Iranian civilians. And now Iranian interests in the US are represented by the Pakistan Embassy in Washington. Iran and Pakistan were both founding members of ECO the economic cooperation organization. Due to US sanctions Pakistan has so far failed to construct the Peace Gas Pipeline which could contribute a lot to the amelioration of Pakistans economy.
