Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, has arrived in Mashhad, Iran, to attend the 28th Meeting of the ECO Council of Ministers.
The two-day summit, which kicked off on December 2, 2024, aims to promote economic cooperation and regional connectivity among ECO member states, including Iran, Pakistan, and Turkiye.
During the meeting, Dar will emphasize Pakistan’s commitment to the ECO charter and highlight the potential of greater connectivity in the ECO region. He will also sign the charter for the ECO Clean Energy Center and hold bilateral meetings with participating ministers and dignitaries.
The ECO was founded in 1985 by Iran, Pakistan, and Turkiye, with the objective of promoting economic, technical, and cultural cooperation among member states. The organization seeks to remove trade barriers, develop intra-regional trade, and strengthen cultural and historical ties among member states.
Dar’s visit is expected to strengthen Pakistan’s ties with ECO member states and promote regional cooperation in areas such as trade, energy, and transportation.
