Iran-Pakistan Ties Stands as High as the Majestic Peaks of Damavand and K2
Islamabad – 2 August 2026 (Adnan Hameed) : The historical relations between Iran and Pakistan have withstood the test of time, rooted in centuries of shared history, civilization, faith and culture, with the bond between the two nations remaining strong and enduring.
Iran was the first country to recognize Pakistan, while Pakistan was the first country to recognize the Islamic Republic of Iran. These milestones reflect the exceptional nature of bilateral relations, which have now entered a new and unique era.
The strengthening and solidification of Iran-Pakistan ties, particularly over the past two years, has been evident at various levels. Representatives of the parliaments of Iran and Pakistan have consistently stood together in support and solidarity with each other.
The depth of relations between the two countries was also reflected following the Israeli regime’s aggression, when representatives of the Pakistani Parliament issued a resolution in support of Iran.
In the presence of the President, members of the Iranian Parliament chanted “Pakistan Tashakur,” while people in Iran echoed the sentiment in the streets, proudly waving the flags of Iran and Pakistan side by side.
In his first Nowruz message, the new Supreme Leader of Iran also referred to the importance of Iran’s relations with Pakistan, underscoring the significance of the enduring partnership between the two countries.
The numerous high-level exchanges over the past two years, including President Masoud Pezeshkian’s two visits to Pakistan, several visits by the Prime Minister of Pakistan to Iran, multiple visits by Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir (NI(M), HJ, COAS & CDF), and other exchanges between senior officials, demonstrate the depth of friendship, brotherhood, solidarity and mutual support between the two countries.
In June 2026, President Pezeshkian paid a memorable visit to Islamabad to convey the heartfelt gratitude of the Government and people of Iran to the Government and people of Pakistan.
Similarly, the Pakistani delegation that participated in the ceremony to pay tribute to the Martyred Supreme Leader of Iran attended at the highest level, with the largest-ever delegation of senior dignitaries, symbolizing solidarity and mutual respect.
The brotherly relations between Iran and Pakistan have reached a level where no challenge, phenomenon or external factor can weaken the love, friendship and brotherhood between the two nations.
The stature and reputation of Iran-Pakistan relations stand as high as the majestic peaks of Damavand and K2.
The friendship and brotherhood between Iran and Pakistan can serve as a role model of mutual respect, sincere brotherhood, good neighborliness and the spirit of “We Can Do It” for the entire region.
The hope remains that all Muslim and neighboring countries of the region will work together, hand in hand, in an atmosphere of peace, stability and security, free from external threats and destructive wars, to build a future of development, prosperity and lasting welfare for their peoples.
