The memoranda of understanding were inked on Friday in Islamabad in the presence of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Pakistani Prime Minister Navaz Sharif.
The six MoUs include a 5-year cooperation document on strategic trade; MoUs between the Federation Of Pakistan Chambers Of Commerce & Industry and the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA); Iran’s Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS) and Karachi Council on Foreign Relations (KCFR); Central Insurance of Iran and Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan; cultural and academic cooperation between Pakistan Academy of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations School of the Iranian Foreign Ministry; as well as mutual cooperation on health and education.
“Iran could be a reliable source of energy for eastern neighbor; we have signed a number of agreements in intelligence and hope the implementation of accords help provide security to southeast borders in Sistan and Baluchistan,” Rouhani added. “Iran and Pakistan could work to develop transportation line to connect east to west; culturally speaking, Persian language and alphabet is popular with Pakistani ethnicities,” Rouhani asserted.
There will be excellent grounds for bilateral cooperation.
