Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif questioned the objection to Iran’s ballistic missiles during the joint press conference with the Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, at PM House today.
PM Shehbaz said while speaking to the journalists, “There are many countries which have ballistic missiles in their stockpiles. Why object to Iran’s missiles? This would lead to unnecessary delays. Ballistic missiles were never part of the agenda that was discussed, not part of the MoU and never on the table.”
Earlier today, PM Shehbaz Sharif welcomed the Iranian President at Nur Khan Airbase. The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, was accompanying Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir also met with the Iranian President. Both leaders agreed to strengthen relationships and expand mutual economic interests.
