“A few minutes ago, the Honourable Pakistani Minister of Interior, my dear brother H.E.
Mohsin Naqvi congratulated me on the achievements of the negotiations with the officials of my country after returning from Tehran.
With conservative optimism, we can hope that, if the other positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran are based on dignity, the steadfastness of the courageous armed forces and the resistance of the brave Iranian nation, as well as the initiative and dedicated endeavours of the Pakistani mediator,” he said in a post on Χ.
