TEHRAN: Prime Minister Imran Khan met Iranian President Hassan Rouhani during his day-long visit to Tehran on Sunday.

Addressing a joint press conference with the Iranian president, PM Imran said, “War between Saudi Arabia and Iran should never happen. The issue is complex but can be resolved through dialogue”.

“Pakistan does not want any conflict in the region,” PM Imran said.

The prime minister added Pakistan had suffered 70,000 casualties in war on terrorism and neighbouring Afghanistan also suffered badly in the conflict going on in that country.

The premier added Saudi Arabia was one of the closest friends of Pakistan and Riyadh had always helped us in all times of need. He emphasised that Pakistan does not want any conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia while recognising that it was a complex and complicated issue.

“This visit to Iran and the visit which I will undertake to Saudia Arabia on Tuesday, is a Pakistan led initiative. I will go with a positive mind to Saudia, Pakistan will play the role of a facilitator,” PM Imran said.

He added Pakistan was willing to host both countries in Islamabad.

“When I was in New York, I was asked by US President Trump to facilitate these talks and we will do all what we can. We would facilitate so that sanctions can be lifted, a nuclear deal can be signed”, the prime minister said.

The prime minister said they [Pakistan] would facilitate talks so sanctions [from Iran] can be lifted.

Iranian president appreciated the steps taken by Pakistan to de-escalate the situation in the region.

Earlier, the prime minister held wide-ranging consultations with President Rouhani.

The prime minister in the meeting said Pakistan attaches high importance to bilateral ties with Iran. "Pakistan is willing to play its role towards strengthening peace and stability in the region," PM Imran was quoted as saying.
