ISLAMABAD: The Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Mehdi Honardoost has said that Tehran is willing to mediate between Pakistan and India over the long-standing issue of Kashmir if requested.

“Any conflict or tension between the two countries [Pakistan and India] will hinder the progress and development of both the countries but will also impact upon the economies of other regional countries,” said Ambassador Mehdi Honardoost during an interview.

Iran has also offered its assistance to attain peace and tranquility in the region.

Commenting on Pak-Iran trade ties, Honardoost said that a Free Trade Agreement draft has been signed between the two nations and it will soon be operative to enhance two-way business and trade engagements.

“Our future is bright after the removal of impediments. Hopefully, our trade relations would continue to grow,” he remarked.

Concerned officials from both the countries are also expected to meet in an upcoming 20th round of Pak-Iran Joint Economic Commission (JEC) soon to further strengthen trade ties between the two, he added.

Replying to a question about China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Honardoost said the project was not only a game-changer for the region but would be a unifying force for the countries in it.

The ambassador termed the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) an important group for the Muslim world and underlined the need to widen its sphere by adding all Islamic countries into its fold.

I wonder Why only Turkey and Iran issue such statements but Indias biggest ally UAE stays quite on Kashmir issue.

 

[Skull and Bones]

We should just let Iran and Turkey fight between themselves to come to an conclusion to who's going to play a bigger role to mediate between India and pakistan.

 

[El Sidd]

a) Kashmir is a bilateral issue.

b) Pakistan respects Iran's gesture.

Now I leave the Persian lobby in Pakistan to the thread. Enjoy keeping it up and avenge the recent anti Iran threads. Use the Indian and Persian posters as well. They are really informative.

Popcorn time.

Resolution cannot be reached via dialogue, esp not with Pakistan, if anything this will only be resolved by conflict - to mask it under the cloak of dialogue is simply stupid.

Can India Afford a "MAD" if conflict is the only way?
It is too hot.
