ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari stressed the need for promoting barter trade and economic relations with Iran for the mutual benefit of the two brotherly countries.

President Zardari said Pakistan and Iran had great scope for expanding bilateral economic cooperation in diverse fields. He expressed these views while talking to Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Dr Reza Amiri Moghadam, who called on him at the Presidency.

According to Reuters, the US on March 26 said that it did not support the Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project going forward and cautioned about the risk of sanctions in doing business with Tehran.

According to the Presidency, Mr Zardari expressed his commitment to further strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. He called for working together to overcome the common challenges.

The Iranian ambassador emphasised the need to increase trade volume, banking cooperation, and air and business linkages. He said Pakistan could benefit from the Chabahar-Zahedan rail road for trade with Central Asia and Europe.
