The Embassy is in close coordination with local authorities to extend all possible support to the bereaved family and to facilitate the repatriation process at the earliest possible time. In this hour of grief, we share in the family’s pain and offer our deepest condolences and prayers. Pakistan embassy in UAE

I am extremely grateful to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for extending full facilitation to Pakistan’s trade to Iran- as well as transit trade through Iran- during challenging times . The land borders between Pakistan and Iran are working optimally and Green Channels at various border points are functional supporting swift movement of commodities on both sides. Pakistan is also extending best possible cooperation to Tehran to ensure that our trade remains unaffected by ongoing developments. The issues of congestion are also being addressed through mutual efforts . The Embassy is in touch with both the official and the private stakeholders- in Pakistan & in Iran- for immediate trade facilitation. Ambassador Mudassir on X
