Speaking to reporters during a joint press conference on Monday, Mohammad Najjar said that the terrorist explosion in Quetta and similar events are contrary to the establishment of stability and security in the Middle-East.
The Iranian minister condemned the recent terrorist incidence in Quetta adding, "Unfortunately that terrorist incidence led to getting killed and wounded of a large number of innocent, Muslim people of that country and we sincerely condole with the government and people of Pakistan, particularly with the victims' bereaved family."
The interior minister added, "Beyond doubt such criminal and dispute-aimed moves are not to the benefit of Pakistan, and will not be harmonious with the interests of Pakistan and the only people whose interests would be secured are the wretched enemies of Pakistan."
"The two countries are seriously interested in increasing the level of bilateral cooperation and the Iranian and Pakistani governments and officials must therefore prepare the ground for comprehensive expansion of ties," the Iranian minister pointed out.
Mohammad Najjar said that ever increasing bilateral ties between the two states would ensure the Iranian and Pakistani nations' interests, as well as providing peace and stability for the region.
The interior minister reiterated, "Keeping in mind the two countries, presidents Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Asif Ali Zardari's emphasis over expansion of interactions and improving the level of comprehensive cooperation in commercial, political, economic and security fields, we have reached satisfactory results jointly and the Pakistani Interior Ministry caretaker's visit, too, is in line with those objectives."
He expressed hope that signing this agreement would be a step towards the strengthening and further improvement of the already excellent Iran-Pakistan relations.
On Monday, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and visiting Pakistani Interior Minister Rahman Malik exchanged views over regional developments, and also called for expansion of bilateral ties in all arenas between two Muslim nations.
"Iran and Pakistan have deep and brotherly ties, and this has developed a sense of close brotherhood between the two countries," the Iranian president said during the meeting with Pakistani minister in Tehran.
He also underlined the crucial role of Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan in tackling regional issues.
"The problems in the region, which are rooted in interference by foreigners, should necessarily be solved by regional countries, and through their close cooperation," he added.
Malik, for his part, said the Pakistani nation considers as truly honest the Islamic Republic of Iran's friendship, adding that Iran has always assisted Pakistan when the country has been in need of help.
He also stated that the biggest problem in Pakistan is terrorism and the drone strikes carried out by the United States.
Iran and Pakistan have always had very close and intimate relations throughout the history.
The two countries exchange delegations on a regular basis and their leaders are resolved to further accelerate expansion of ties and cooperation between the two neighboring nations.
