Raisi also thanked the Pakistani government and military for their cooperation in beefing up security along the border of the two countries.

He said good ties between the Iranian and Pakistani militaries have improved security along the border.

Nadeem Raza also said in the meeting, “I have always believed that Iran is Pakistan’s close friend.”
