No it's not late !
We can help each other to fill the gap !
We have a promising program in Iran & we need a partner to make things a little faster !

No offence mate, but you can't really help each other. The weaker of you two will drag the other down. You indeed have a promising program in Iran therefore you need a partner with more experience to accelerate your pace. Associating with Suparco will bring no value addition or tech to your own program that you probably don't have already.
See, in a high tech field like space, there are three aspects to any successful organisation.
1. Qualified human resource, motivation and support from government.
2. Collaboration with more successful organisations.
3. Funding.
Lets take each point on its own merit.
1. I have no reason to doubt the competence of the personal manning this organisation, but then they haven't exactly inspired confidence lately. Where are the research publications. What are its recent success stories.
Space tech is sophisticated and serious business. Also run won't count in this race.
2. Collaboration is the point you have raised and rightly so. Perhaps the seriousness of your efforts when combined with pakistan's will get results. But the process will be painstakingly slow in the initial years and I really see no benefit in the short term.
3. Funding. Throw in the money and forget about the results early on. Can pakistan do that. ?
On their own, suparco doesn't have a shot in hell to match up the already established powers in space industry. The success of ISRO isn't an overnight phenomenon and still we are decades behind the tech sophistication achieved by west. IF suparco is to start now without the initial feed by more advanced agencies they will take eons to reinvent the wheel. Hence my reasoning.
