Iran and Pakistan’s relationship is set to enter a “new strategic phase,” according to Iranian Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghadam, who called Dr. Ali Larijani’s visit to Islamabad a historic moment for bilateral ties. In a message on X, the ambassador described the trip as an extraordinary visit and a major turning point in the decades-old partnership between the two neighbours. He said shifting global and regional dynamics have increased the need for stronger policy coordination and deeper cooperation in political, economic, and security matters. Moghadam expressed confidence that Dr. Larijani’s meetings with Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership will help strengthen long-term strategic collaboration between the two countries.
