Iran, Pakistan stress promotion of border security

During their meeting, Mohammad Pakpour and General Bilal Akbar underlined deepening the military and security relations between Tehran and Islamabad.

They also stressed the importance of intelligence sharing and fighting terrorists at the border areas.

The Iranian and Pakistani official called for promotion of unity and solidarity among Islamic countries, in particular between Iran and Pakistan.

Iran-Pakistan border areas have become a safe haven for terrorist groups' activities. Last Tuesday, armed bandits killed three Iranian Basij volunteer forces and wounded eight others in Mirjaveh in southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan and escaped to the Pakistani part of the border.

Mirjaveh is a town in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. It is the main road crossing point between Iran and Pakistan.
