TEHRAN - Iran’s and Pakistan’s defense and military capabilities are “complementary,” a senior Iranian military delegate stresses, saying both countries pledge to boost their alliance to counter and tackle Western and Israeli threats.
Captain Darioush Eskandari made the remarks on the second day of the Pakistan International Maritime Expo & Conference (PIMEC 2025) in Karachi on Tuesday, calling for closer cooperation to strengthen deterrence.
The head of Iran’s military delegation stressed that the defense and military capabilities of the two neighboring countries complement each other, emphasizing that this opportunity should be used to reap mutual benefits and address shared challenges.
“It has been a valuable opportunity to participate in the International Maritime Expo & Conference in our eastern neighbor, Pakistan. Fortunately, the level and quality of the industries and products presented by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Defense Ministry are highly satisfactory and impressive,” Eskandari further said.
He added that foreign officials from countries participating in the exhibition, as well as senior Pakistani authorities, including the commander of the Pakistan Navy, visited Iran’s pavilion.
“The expansion of defense and military cooperation with the friendly and neighboring country of Pakistan will be highly effective in strengthening the deterrent power of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The transfer of technology and experience, along with cooperation in the educational field, also serves the mutual interests of both nations,” Eskandari stressed.
During their meetings with Iranian officials and experts, visitors became acquainted with Iran’s military achievements in various fields, he noted.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan have reached the conclusion that they must make use of each other’s capacities and capabilities to enhance deterrence and jointly address common challenges, including threats from the West and the Zionist regime,” Eskandari stressed.
On the second day of the PIMEC 2025, various foreign delegations, particularly the deputy commander of the Pakistan Navy and senior officials from the Pakistani Ministries of Defense and Defense Production, visited the pavilion of Iran’s Ministry of Defense.
