Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) called for urgent, joint measures with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism, stressing that Tehran will not let outsiders disturb its relations with Islamabad by hiring terrorists to foment insecurity along borders, Tasnim reports.
Iran will not allow certain countries to upset its relations with Pakistan by arming and hiring terrorists for creating insecurity along the common border, Ali Shamkhani said in a meeting with Pakistan’s National Security Adviser Nasser Janjua in Tehran on Monday.
The Iranian official also emphasized the necessity for ensuring sustainable border security and joint efforts by the two neighbors in the fight against narcotics smuggling, human and arms trafficking and gangs of outlaws.
Shamkhani underlined that the first priority in the war on terrorism should be countering the ideology that feeds the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group.
Otherwise, he said, no country will enjoy security and stability, either in the region or in Europe.
