Acting President of Iran Mohammad Mokhber said on Sunday that it is necessary to collaborate in efforts with Pakistan to achieve a bilateral trade target of $10 billion, a goal set during a visit by late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to Islamabad earlier this year, IRNA reports.

Speaking during a phone call from Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday, Mokhber revisited strategic objectives established during Raisi's April visit, which include important trade goal through joint initiatives and the lifting of trade obstacles.

Mokhber also addressed a pivotal gas pipeline project between the two nations and called on Pakistani authorities to expedite its implementation, vowing Iran's support in overcoming any existing obstacles.

Before departing to Islamabad in April, the late Iranian President told reporters that his government is looking to reach a $10 billion mark in bilateral trade with Pakistan.

Iran's southeastern neighbor holds strong economic and political ties with Tehran. The two governments look to further expand bilateral cooperation. 

Raisi said that Iran and Pakistan share common values and excel in cooperation on issues relating to human rights, defending the oppressed Palestinian people, and fighting regional terrorism. 

Raisi's government has made it a priority to enhance and expand relations with neighboring nations.
