Chairman Standing
Committee for Petroleum and Resources Senator Abdul Qadir on Tuesday said that Pakistan wanted to develop special relations with Afghanistan, Iran, China and Turkey
to promote trade and development
in the region. Talking to APP, he said that Pakistan was taking maximum measures
to promote peace and connectivity
in the region for stable relations at political, diplomatic and economic levels. It was also taking steps to ensure law and order in order to attract investment
in the country. He said Pakistan’s top leadership had visited the brotherly country Iran
to promote bilateral ties. He said three months ago, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s official meeting with Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi at the Manda-Pishin border was jointly inaugurated. Pakistan believed that cordial relations with regional countries could only guarantee a prosperous
future, he remarked. Three high-level meetings between Pakistan and Iran
during the last three months are of great importance in promoting bilateral relations including trade and defence cooperation, he noted.
