TEHRAN - Pakistani Foreign Minister Sartaj Aziz says regional countries must strengthen their cooperation in the campaign against terrorism.
In a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Tehran on Tuesday, Aziz extended his appreciation for the Islamic Republic’s expression of sympathy over the recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
He added that Pakistan has adopted measures to prevent the recurrence of such terrorist incidents.
Multiple terrorist attacks have rocked Pakistan over the past few days.
More than 70 people were killed and over 150 others injured in a huge bomb explosion at a shrine in the town of Sehwan in Sindh Province on February 16. The Daesh Takfiri group claimed responsibility for the attack.
The terrorist incident came a day after an assailant riding a motorbike attacked a van transporting a judge in the city of Peshawar. The driver of the van was killed and five people, including the judge, were injured.
The Peshawar attack came hours after two bombers hit a government compound in the tribal area of Mohmand near the Afghan border. At least three policemen and two passers-by died in the attack.
On February 13, a deadly bombing rocked Lahore, the capital of Punjab Province, killing over a dozen people. (Presstv)
