The foreign ministers of Pakistan and Iran have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation in trade, connectivity, and other sectors, aiming to boost bilateral trade to $10 billion. Both countries have established border markets and explored barter trade to navigate sanctions and currency challenges, though security concerns along their shared border have complicated relations. Despite these challenges, recent high-level visits and agreements signal a renewed effort to enhance economic ties and work together for regional peace and development. Pakistan and Iran have also maintained a unified stance on regional conflicts, including criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza.
