The illegal occupation of Golan Heights by Israel, making Jerusalem its capital and violating the international law would lead to further uncertainty in the Middle East.<br \/>\nSimilarly, he said, the United Nations Security Council Resolution about Kashmir clearly says that the people of Kashmir shall be allowed to decide their own destiny. However, unfortunately in the last 30 years the brute Indian forces were oppressing the Kashmiris.<br \/>\nHe said over 70,000 people had been killed by the Indian occupation forces in held valley. The only way was dialogue and political settlement and not the use of force.<br \/>\nOnce the Kashmir issue was settled, the whole Sub-continent would move forward, the prime minister said. Iran and the entire region would also benefit from it, he added. He said only justice would bring peace in the region and not the use of force.<br \/>\nThe prime minister said his visit would be certainly a turning point to further strengthen bilateral relations between Pakistan and Iran.<br \/>\nHe also extended invitation to President Rouhani to visit Pakistan which the latter accepted.<br \/>\nImran Khan said in 1972 he saw a big difference between the rich and the poor in Iran but since yesterday he had seen that Iran had become a very egalitarian society and all that was possible due to the Iranian Revolution.<br \/>\nThe revolution he wanted to bring in New Pakistan was to end the difference between the rich and the poor, he added.<br \/>\nEarlier, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Iran was determined to strengthen bilateral ties with Pakistan and no third country could harm their brotherly relations.<br \/>\nHe said during his talks with Prime Minister Imran Khan, they discussed border security and agreed that any group, which was involved in inhuman activities, would be treated as terrorist.<br \/>\nHe said both the countries were also agreed to share intelligence cooperation in border areas and to set up a Joint Rapid Reaction Force to fight terrorism and guard the common border.<br \/>\nRouhani said the two sides were agreed to expand trade and commercial ties, and take necessary measures to connect gas pipeline to Pakistan. Iran was ready to increase electricity export to Pakistan tenfold, he added.<br \/>\nHe said import and export balance could be ensured as both the sides had agreed to set up a Barter Committee to exchange goods by the two countries.<br \/>\nThe Iranian President said Chahbahar and Gwadar ports would be connected through railways network to benefit the people of the two countries.<br \/>\nHe said both the sides discussed bilateral, regional and international issues, and peace and security in Afghanistan.<br \/>\nHe said they also discussed that Iran, Pakistan and Turkey were founders of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) and they were keen to revive railways line from Istanbul to Islamabad so that Europe could be connected with China through Iran and Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>VNS Islamabad<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN, Apr 22 (APP): Pakistan and Iran on Monday agreed to boost security cooperation and set up a Joint Rapid Reaction Force to fight terrorism and guard the common border between the two countries.
