Iran and Pakistan Agree to Strengthen Cooperation Following Airstrikes

The two nations commit to combating terrorism and enhancing bilateral trade amidst escalating tensions.

Iran and Pakistan have agreed to strengthen dialogue and security cooperation following reciprocal airstrikes earlier this month, which escalated tensions between the two nations.
The tit-for-tat airstrikes targeted alleged militant bases in each other's territories, resulting in at least 11 deaths and marking a significant escalation in relations.
Both nations have agreed to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to work together to combat terrorism, particularly in their shared border region.
The two countries have also agreed to establish free trade economic zones near their border regions to enhance bilateral trade.
During his visit to Pakistan, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian is also expected to discuss the recent killing of four Pakistani laborers in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan
