FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Bukhari made the comments during a meeting with the Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Alireza Haghighian in the capital Islamabad late on Monday, IRNA reported.
The two officials discussed bilateral and regional issues such as increasing electricity export from Iran to Pakistan, accelerating the implementation of Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project, cooperating on the fight against terrorism and narcotics trafficking, and promoting parliamentary collaborations.
For his part, the Iranian envoy to Islamabad noted that “The Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan as two great and influential countries in the region seek promotion of the level of bilateral and regional cooperation.”
The governments of both countries have taken “fundamental steps” to elevate mutual relations, he added.
Earlier on the day, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari said Islamabad would push ahead with the IP pipeline project, in defiance of US and EU sanctions against the Iranian energy sector.
The US, Israel and some of their allies have accused Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program. The United States and the European Union have used this pretext to impose sanctions against Iran.
Tehran has categorically refuted the accusations, arguing that as a committed member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), it is entitled to all peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
Iran also maintains that the IAEA has never found any evidence of diversion towards making weapons in its frequent inspections of the country’s nuclear facilities.
