Many Iranian and Pakistani forces have lost their lives in recent years in the fight against terrorism, he said.
The top Iranian diplomat emphasized that it is inevitable for the two countries to garner their strength to fight terrorism.
Amir-Abdollahian said Tehran and Islamabad have reached an understanding that efforts should be made to improve economy, development and welfare of the people living along the common border.
He hailed numerous cultural, historical and religious commonalities between Iran and Pakistan and said the two neighboring states have never had a dispute over their territorial integrity.
Amir-Abdollahian added that historic cordial relations between the two sides verify that "we are one nation in two different geographical areas."
Iran regards Pakistan's security as the security of its own and the entire region, the top Iranian diplomat said, emphasizing, "Both sides strongly respect each other's territorial integrity."
Pointing to constructive cooperation between Tehran and Islamabad in the international circles, Amir-Abdollahian commended firm support of the Pakistani government and nation for the oppressed Palestinian people.
Iran believes that Shia and Sunni Muslims are a single community, he said, reaffirming once again the Islamic Republic's strong support for the Palestinian people and resistance.
He noted that the Pakistani government has officially invited Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi to travel to Islamabad and the two countries’ foreign ministers agreed to make the necessary preparations so that the visit would take place in the near future (SOURCE: PRESSTV).
