President urges greater coordination among Islamic nations and proposes powerful Muslim bloc, while Pakistan’s army chief emphasizes peace, cooperation and solidarity across Islamic world
TEHRAN, Iran (MNTV) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called for greater solidarity among Islamic countries and proposed the creation of a strong Muslim bloc capable of addressing shared challenges and promoting peace and stability across the region.
During a meeting with Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir in Islamabad on Tuesday, Pezeshkian stressed the need to strengthen unity within the Islamic world and expand coordination among Muslim nations to safeguard their common interests, according to Tasnim News Agency.
The Iranian president praised Pakistan’s government, people, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and military leadership for their efforts to support peace and encourage mediation in regional affairs.
“The efforts of this brotherly and friendly country in supporting peace are worthy of appreciation,” Pezeshkian said.
Referring to Iran’s response to recent U.S. and Israeli military actions, he said the Iranian government, people and armed forces remained united and succeeded in thwarting the objectives of their adversaries.
Pezeshkian said Pakistan’s active diplomatic engagement reflects its belief in the importance of solidarity among Muslim countries and expressed confidence that relations between Tehran and Islamabad are entering a new phase of expanded cooperation in political, economic and strategic fields.
He said the Islamic world possesses substantial political, economic and human resources and argued that closer coordination among Muslim nations could help resolve regional crises and strengthen collective resilience.
Field Marshal Munir briefed the Iranian president on recent negotiations and the signing of an agreement, while expressing appreciation for the support provided by senior Iranian officials, particularly Pezeshkian.
Despite external pressures, Munir said Pakistan believes no Muslim nation should be subjected to suffering and emphasized the importance of preserving peace, cooperation and unity throughout the Islamic world.
The Pakistani military chief also said Iran’s resilience and steadfastness had sent an important message to Israel and enabled the country to defend its rights.
The meeting underscored the two countries’ shared emphasis on regional stability, stronger bilateral relations and increased cooperation among Muslim nations amid ongoing challenges in the region.
