Lahore: The Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi, stated that Palestinians will emerge victorious against Israeli occupying forces, and praised Pakistan’s stance in the conflict.
Speaking during his visit to the mausoleum of Allama Iqbal in Lahore, President Raisi expressed his support for the Palestinian cause, asserting that the Israelis who oppress Palestinians will face defeat.
The President remarked, “Allama Iqbal showed a new path to the Muslim Ummah,” adding that Iqbal’s poetry could bridge relations between Iran and Pakistan. He further noted the strong brotherly relations between Pakistan and Iran and expressed hope that these ties would strengthen over time.
It is worth noting that Pakistan and Iran have committed to expanding their bilateral trade to ten billion dollars over the next five years. This agreement was reached during a meeting in Islamabad between Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Iranian President Dr. Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi.
President Raisi mentioned feeling at home during his visit to Pakistan. Upon his arrival in Lahore, he was welcomed at the airport by Punjab’s Chief Minister, Maryam Nawaz, who introduced him to her cabinet members.
During his stay, the Iranian President is scheduled to meet the local business community, visit Minar-e-Pakistan, and Badshahi Mosque where he will offer prayers. Later in the day, he is set to travel to Karachi, where he is expected to stay overnight.
