Good Iran sees india is creating chabhar only to counter Pakistan once Pak factor gone india will take back it's investment no future of chabhar better make Pakistan strong as neighbors Iran get benefits unlimited time

Stop taking it personal. How reliable Is Pakistan's Gwadar? Even chinese know its not very reliable..if not why such huge security budget/protocols for CPEC? Iran is creating alternatives...for progressive countries like INdia that Pakistan wants to block out. Its called international diplomacy.

Just to please Pakistanis and to portray Iranians as our well wisher...Why dis they fired on our territory? They speak something, they do something else....

 

[Manidabest]

it is a good thing i mean Iranians r true allies and they helped us against india before and regarding firing on our border is not because they hate Pakistanis but because we dont manned our border with iran properly ..most of our forces r deployed either on eastern border or on border with afghanistan ...

NEW YORK: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in a meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the UNGA on Wednesday expressed a desire to be part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as both leaders expressed satisfaction over the positive trajectory in Pak-Iran bilateral ties.

Rouhani lauded the PM Nawaz's vision which he said translated the CPEC into reality. Connectivity projects were recognised by both countries' leaders as vital to the progress of the region.

Rouhani said Iran considers Pakistan’s economic development as its own development. Both sides discussed opportunities for bilateral cooperation in the field of energy, especially oil, gas and electricity.

They noted that progress on Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline and electricity import from Iran would help Pakistan overcome its energy shortages in the coming years.

The Iranian president said there is a need for defence cooperation between the two countries, as they have a history of cooperation in this regard. Pakistan's security is the security of Iran, he said.

Nawaz apprised Rouhani of Indian brutalities in held Kashmir.

The Kashmiri people are victims of heinous acts of state-sponsored terrorism at the hands of Indian forces, Nawaz said, adding that the situation in the valley remains tense in the wake of the uprising after Wani's death.

The prime minister also stressed the need to build unity and cohesion within the Muslim world, particularly at a time of turmoil.

Rouhani extended an invitation to Iran to the prime minister. Nawaz accepted the invitation and said that he would visit Tehran soon.

Don't see why Free Trade and Defence pact cannot be added to mix , since Iran is right across it would help both nations.

Iran should however sort the regional issue (With Saudia) under the umbrella of OIC
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani should perhaps visit Pakistan

Neighbours don't need an invite , the visit and exchange should happen more frequently

May be even have a Trilateral meeting with Putin
