Pakistan Army spokesman reminds difference between Iran and India

Director General ISPR Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor has stated that Iran is a brotherly Muslim neighbour country, with which we have a history of brotherly relations and still enjoys excellent relations.
He said this yesterday when asked about the recent statement by an Iranian military commander.

The DG ISPR said: “These are two different contexts. You cannot compare India with Iran. With India we have a history of 70 years I just told you and Iran is a brotherly Muslim neighbour country, with which we have a history of brotherly relations.”
He said: “You know we have 2611 km western border with Afghanistan and now we are fencing it. You know there are terrorists there. The arrangement there, be it of forces or the fence, is not for the Afghanistan forces or people, it is for the terrorists.
“Similarly, we share 909 km border with Iran. That border is also unmanned because we are friendly states and we do not have any threat from there, while on that side of the border, the security arrangements are not that exemplary as well. But when terrorists, who traverse from Afghanistan through Iran into Pakistan and vice versa, now we have quite an improved coordination among Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran so that we do not let our borders be freely used by terrorists.
“But because our focus was more towards Pak-Afghan border, so some terrorists are occasionally active on Pak-Iran border as well, but we have very good coordination with Iran in that regard, you remember the army chief also went there,” Maj Gen Ghafoor said.
“We are discussing with Iran to fence the Pak-Iran border also having agreed to each other, so that that border is not used by a third party to exploit against Iran or Pakistan.”
He maintained that Pakistan has cordial ties with Iran, which would improve further.
