"Iran has suffered from terrorism as well, from groups operating in Pakistan" : PM Imran Khan
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday reiterated that no militant group will be allowed to operate from within Pakistani soil during his maiden visit to Tehran after both countries hurled accusations at each other following recent attacks in both Iran and Pakistan.
Addressing a joint press conference with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, PM Imran said that the “entire political spectrum has agreed that no militant group will be allowed to operate from Pakistan”.
“The decision was made through consensus with the country and not due to external pressure,” he asserted. “Iran has suffered from terrorism as well from groups operating in Pakistan.” he said.
PM Imran added that the security chiefs will sit together to strategise cooperation and expand support in fight against terrorism.
Rouhani emphasised on strengthening bilateral ties between Tehran and Islamabad and said “no third country will be allowed to influence friendly ties between the two” during Prime Minister Imran Khan’s maiden visit to Iran.
The two leaders covered multiple issues in the bilateral dialogue, including border security. “We are expanding our security ties and setting up a joint rapid reaction force to guard common borders,” said the Iranian president. “PM Imran has reiterated that Pakistan will not join any war coalition.”
Rouhani accepted PM Imran’s invitation to visit Pakistan and hoped he would be able to visit Islamabad soon. He thanked the premier for accepting the invitation to visit Tehran and the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS) in Mashhad and termed the visit as a turning point for both countries.
The Iranian president expressed Tehran’s interest in establishing links between Gwadar and Chahbhar ports to strengthen trade. “Iran is ready to meet oil and gas requirements of Pakistan and also export electricity. We have already taken measures to install gas pipelines along Pak-Iran border.”
Reminiscing that if the British had not colonized the sub-continent, Persian would still be the preferred language of the region, the premier thanked the Iranian president and appreciated the respect extended to the Pakistani delegation.
“The first time I came here was in the 1970s. Iran has become an egalitarian society – the difference between the rich and poor in Iran has lessened,” he said. “Such a revolution is needed in Naya Pakistan.”
“Most importantly, the reason for my visit is the issue of terrorism which is increasing. We have suffered more from terrorism than any other country with over 70,000 casualties.”
Imran said Pakistan was luckier still when compared to Afghanistan. “Despite the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces, Kabul has been unable to contain militancy,” he added. The prime minister stressed that justice brings peace.
Earlier today, PM Imran arrived at Tehran’s Saadabad Palace and was received by Rouhani.
The premier, on his maiden trip to Islamabad’s south-western neighbour, was presented a guard of honour by a smartly turned out contingent of the Iranian military.
Following the welcoming ceremony, the premier and Iranian president began delegation level talks. A memorandum of understanding was signed between the two countries in the health sector.
PM Imran arrived in Tehran late Sunday after a brief stop-over in Mashhad on the invitation of the Iranian president. The premier and his delegation were received by Iran’s health minister and minister-in-waiting Dr Saeed Namaki.
In Mashhad, the premier paid respects at the shrine of Imam Reza and prayed for the prosperity of Pakistan.
During his visit, the PM will meet Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He is also scheduled to meet members of the Iranian and Pakistani business community in Iran.
PM Imran is on a two-day crucial trip to Tehran amid rising tensions between the two neighbours following the recent attack in Ormara in which some 25 unidentified militants stopped passenger buses travelling between Karachi and Gwadar, offloaded passengers after checking their identity cards and executed them. Pakistan has taken the stance the perpetrators were trained in Iran.
This is the first visit of Imran to Tehran since he became the prime minister in August last year and is being watched closely because of a number of factors, including Pakistan’s deepening ties with Saudi Arabia, which is at odds with Iran.
