Iranian officials travel to Pakistan; What are the messages of “Larijani” trip? – Mehr news agency RCO News Agency

Guest note, Mohammad Ibrahim Saberi: The important visit of Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, to Pakistan was accompanied by a meeting with the country’s prime minister, president and army commander; A trip that brought important messages about Iran’s energy, security and regional role.

This trip should be considered one of the most important diplomatic events in recent months; A trip that went beyond the level of an official visit and brought important security, political and strategic messages for the region, especially South Asia. This trip was carried out in continuation of the recent trips of the President of Iran, Masoud Bakhchiyan, and Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, to Pakistan. A series of coordinated and purposeful movements that clearly show that Pakistan has a special and strategic position in Tehran’s foreign policy.

Larijani’s presence in Islamabad and meeting with the highest Pakistani officials, such as the prime minister and the president to the army commander, shows Iran’s determination to open a new chapter in relations with a country whose role in the future of regional security is undeniable.

Pakistan; An important eastern neighbor

Pakistan is not only an eastern neighbor for Iran; Rather, it is one of the most important players in the Islamic world and a connecting link between South Asia, Afghanistan and the Indian Ocean. The geopolitical position and political and security capacities of Pakistan have made this country Iran’s natural partner in shaping regional stability.

The challenges in the surrounding environment of Islamabad, from the complex situation of Afghanistan to the historical competition with India, are not an obstacle, but an opportunity to strengthen joint cooperation and Iran’s constructive role in reducing tensions and strengthening regional peace.

In his meetings, Larijani clearly stated that Iran considers Pakistan “valuable and strategic” and that Tehran is ready to play a more active role to help solve the complex challenges between Islamabad, Kabul and New Delhi. His use of the phrase “white check” to help Pakistan shows the real strength and power of Iran in managing and influencing the developments in the region.

Appreciation for the support of the Pakistani nation in the 12-day war

One of the highlights of this trip was Larijani’s meeting with scholars, elites and religious figures of Pakistan. The Supreme Leader of the Revolution’s warm greetings to the people of Pakistan met with an unprecedented reception from the people, official media and social networks of this country.

Larijani also appreciated the broad support of Shia and Sunni and Pakistani elites to Iran in the 12-day war. This level of cooperation showed that Iran’s soft power and social influence in Pakistan is deep-rooted, beyond the political borders of the states and based on historical, cultural and religious ties.

This social support can provide a reliable platform for strengthening the cultural, religious and social cooperation between the two countries and as a strategic investment in strengthening relations. Tehran-Islamabad be used

energy diplomacy; Iran’s potential power and Pakistan’s strategic need

Gas pipeline Iran-Pakistan which has been stopped for years due to foreign pressure on Pakistan, was an important focus in Larijani’s speech. Emphasizing that “if there were no obstacles, the people of Pakistan would be using Iran’s gas now”, he made the role of foreign factors in depriving Pakistan of a stable source of energy more obvious.

At a time when Pakistan is facing an unprecedented energy crisis, Iran, as one of the great energy powers of the world, is considered the country’s most natural partner. If the obstacles and external pressures on Pakistan are reduced, we can expect energy cooperation to become the main pillar of the strategic relationship Tehran-Islamabad become

Iran and Pakistan; Security convergence for a more sustainable future

Larijani’s meeting with the commander of the Pakistani army was another important axis of this trip. Pakistan is a country where the military plays a decisive role in foreign and security policy. The direct dialogues of the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council with this institution are important because Tehran is seeking to create a new model of security and border cooperation; A model that can control border threats, deal with extremist terrorist groups and strengthen sustainable security.

In the meantime, Iran’s strength and experience in managing regional crises has made Tehran a reliable actor to create stability in the surrounding environment.

Iran; A power that can organize peace in the region

Due to its geopolitical position, simultaneous connection with India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and long experience in crisis management and regional mediation, Iran is one of the few countries that is able to play an active and decisive role in establishing regional peace.

Larijani’s visit showed that Tehran is not only aware of this capacity, but also has the necessary will to use this power. The continuation of this approach can increase the weight of Iran in South Asian equations and contribute to the stability of the region.

final word

Larijani’s trip should be considered a turning point in Iran-Pakistan relations; The trip, which followed the trips of the doctors and carpet weavers, to convey a clear message: Pakistan is important to Iran, and Iran is ready to play a stronger and more active role in the security and peace of the region.

Considering the security, political, cultural and energy messages of this trip, we can expect that the relations between the two countries will enter a new phase; A stage in which Tehran and Islamabad will not only be two neighboring partners, but also two decisive actors in shaping the future of South Asia.
