  • Officials from Iran and Pakistan have previously agreed to establish commercial and industrial towns in border areas to boost security and facilitate economic exchanges.

  1. The ongoing Pakistan-India conflict.
  2. Negotiations between Iran and the United States.
  3. Pakistan’s relations with Saudi Arabia.
