‘Anti-extremism front needs regional bid’

At a Friday meeting with Pakistani President Mamnoon Hussain in Islamabad, Larijani pointed to extremism as a regional problem, noting, “The phenomenon has been created in the region by the enemies and an effective joint campaign by the regional countries against such phenomena is a necessity.”

Larijani, who is on a two-day visit to Pakistan, expressed regret over the insecurity occasionally caused by terrorists across the two countries’ border and called for Tehran-Islamabad cooperation to prevent such incidents.

Larijani also expressed dissatisfaction over the existing level of commercial transaction between Iran and Pakistan and noted that the two countries can significantly enhance their economic ties through trading of Pakistani agricultural goods and Iranian oil and petrochemical products.

The Pakistani president, for his part, praised Iran’s determination to expand its relations with Pakistan and stressed that Islamabad seeks closer ties with all countries, particularly its neighboring states.

He also underlined Pakistan’s determination to continue combat against terrorism until it completely uproots violence and insecurity.
