 Pakistan, one of the U.S.'s closest allies in the war against terror, and Iran are to coordinate efforts in combating terrorism, according to Pakistan's Ambassador to Iran Shafeqat Saeed. After meeting with Majlis Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Saeed stated that Teheran and Islamabad would coordinate their efforts to combat the threat.

Th United States accuses Iran of supporting terror groups, such as Hezbollah.

The Majlis Media Department released a statement quoting Saeed as condemning recent terrorist acts in Pakistan's Sistan and Balochistan provinces and in Bam, Iran, adding that the perpetrators are enemies of both nations and Islam.

Saeed told reporters that Haddad-Adel's recent visit to Pakistan would help expand and strengthen bilateral relations between the two nations.

Haddad-Adel expressed gratitude for Pakistan's efforts in confronting terrorism, adding that Iran expects Pakistan's government to broaden its efforts to confront terrorists and enemies of both nations.

Turning to bilateral economic relations, Haddad-Adel noted the potential for expanding bilateral trade ties, adding his hope that current discussions on the proposed Iranian-Indian natural gas pipeline project transiting Pakistan will soon come to a successful conclusion.

IRNA news agency reported on May 17 that Haddad-Adel highlighted the joint economic commission's regular meetings as a measure of both countries' intentions to deepen bilateral relations.
