It is far from comforting when a supposed “ally” in the war on terror (Pakistan) sends its president to go visit the world’s foremost state sponsor of Jihadist terrorism (Iran) and he suggests that the two countries forge closer economic ties…This is especially disturbing given that Pakistan already produces nuclear weapons and Iran desires them…
TEHRAN (Iran): President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday proposed a currency swap agreement between Pakistan and Iran to further strengthen bilateral trade and economic ties between the two brotherly countries.
The President made this proposal during meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad here on Saturday.
The Spokesman to the President, while briefing the media, said President Zardari held wide ranging parleys with President Ahmedinejad, with focus on establishing comprehensive strategic and economic partnership between the two countries.
The two leaders expressed their resolve to upgrade and further intensify their existing bilateral ties, particularly in the fileds of energy, trade and economic for the mutual benefit of two brotherly countries.
Zardari on Saturday called on the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei and discussed bilateral relations and the need to further strengthen these ties in all areas.
