The Iranian Minister for
Defence Brigadier General Amir Hatami called Minister for Defence Engineer
Khurram Dastgir Khan telephonically this afternoon. The Ministers discussed
increasing unrest in the region and agreed to hold frequent consultation to
assess the situation.
The Iranian Minister termed the recent visit to Tehran by General Qamar Javed
Bajwa, Chief of Army Staff, as a turning point in defence relations between
Pakistan and Iran. Both Ministers agreed that recognition of Jerusalem as
capital of Israel by United States had violated International understanding and
destabilized the Middle East.
Engr. Khurram Dastgir Khan
said that the Ummah must unite in order to resist foreign intervention in
Islamic Countries, and thus to take charge of their own security.
