Nothing new in the news but it's always good to hear about the co-operation between both countries

The Iranian government are partners with Pakistan, the people however are a different story. Pakistan should maintain economic cooperation with Iran but political neutrality. As far as economic cooperation focus should particularly be put in the oil-pipeline, the sooner it materializes the better. It will transform the region to an energy corridor.

Some fruits such as mangoes are no longer being exported to Iran, I'm sure other fruit exports are in the same condition, it is due to the International sanctions on Iran. I've already posted about this in the Agricultural section on the forum.

Opinion of a journalist could be as much valuable as your or mine but I would tend to learn from People instead of Press. Look around in the forum and find how much love and support you get from Iranians and likewise, how much support Iran gets from Pakistanis. In the last several years we have only gained more mutual grounds and increased our levels of mutual trust. We never lost Iran neither Iran ever lost Pakistan and I am sure our relations are only going to be better and stronger with the passing time.. and honestly there is no reason why it shouldn't.

The forum does not provide a sufficient and accurate assessment of any "love and support" you type of. Reality is different, look at reality and not the forum, then we will know the truth. Either way Pakistan should maintain cordial and neutral ties with Iranian Government, and work to get the oil pipeline operational as soon as possible.

We never lost Iran neither Iran ever lost Pakistan

Did you read the article? Doesn't seem like it, article's use of the word "loses" is a reference to Pakistani exports to Iran (some) being cancelled due to International sanctions against Iran, read the article...

I am sure our relations are only going to be better and stronger with the passing time

There are only a few things Pakistan can be sure of and this isn't one of them, best policy to have is cordial neutral ties.
