The president-elect of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, received the warmest regards from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday. Pezeshkian won a runoff election recently, which was prompted by the unfortunate death of his predecessor, Ebrahim Raisi, in a helicopter crash close to the border with Azerbaijan.
A Prime Minister House handout states that the premier called Dr. Pezeshkian to congratulate him on his election triumph.
In the hotly contested election to become the nation’s next president, Pezeshkian faced up against Saeed Jalili in the polls, which were conducted on June 6. After winning the runoff election, Pezeshkian claimed he would “extend the hand of friendship to everyone” in his inaugural speech.
The prime minister said to Dr. Pezeshkian, “Pakistan and Iran are bound together as brotherly neighbouring countries by shared history, faith, culture, and traditions.”
The Prime Minister wished Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, well and complimented the country’s brotherly people on their peaceful political transition brought about by democracy.
The prime minister wished the Iranian president-elect a prosperous term in office and expressed his eagerness to collaborate closely with him to improve bilateral cooperation in a number of areas, such as commerce, energy, and regional security, as well as to further fortify Pakistan-Iran relations.
