In a meeting with chief of staff of Pakistan’s ground force, Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Raeisi emphasized on the necessity of facilitating pilgrimage of Pakistani pilgrims and reminded, “Facilitation of Pakistani pilgrims’ pilgrimage whether in Iran or in Pakistan is emphasized by us. We do try to facilitate some issues such as accommodation and movement of these devoted pilgrims”.
He added, “In the past, Pakistani pilgrims did not have appropriate safety; thanks to the great endeavors of Pakistani government, however, Pakistani pilgrims now come to the pilgrimage of Imam Reza (A.S.) conveniently which is really admirable”.
Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Raeisi said, “Existence of security at the border line between Iran and Pakistan is important for the two countries and the region”. He also said, “War against organized crimes, drugs, and terrorism threatening two countries’ security is a bilateral essential and fundamental strategy”.
