Sanjrani, for his part, characterized the state of ties between Iran and Pakistan as "favorable," noting how well-coordinated and similar their legislative actions are in international forums.
He referred to Iran as a strong nation with abundant natural and human resources, highlighting Pakistan's desire for the Islamic Republic of Iran to experience increased development.
Separately, the Iranian foreign minister discussed the development of bilateral economic and commercial relations with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, highlighting the necessity of closer border links between Tehran and Islamabad.
