Lecture 5 : Pakistan Iran Relations

Hello viewers!

In the series of Current affair lectures, I have just added this lecture to throw light on the Relations between Pakistan and Iran.

I have tried to make this lecture precise and comprehensive by discussing the key points of this topic.

In this lecture, the two phases of Pak-Iran relations (pre-1979 & post-1979) have been distinguished exclusively. You will come to know how the Iranian Revolution (1979) changed the scenario in the region.
Then, I have concentrated on the importance of tracts of cooperation between the two countries including Bilateral trade, energy cooperation, defense cooperation, cultural affiliations and clashes, the Afghanistan issue, and their coalition for regional peace and stability.

Iran-Saudi sprint, combatting interests in Afghanistan, middle eastern catastrophe, border problems between the two countries, proxies of the major powers, and increased sectarianism and Talibanization are the dilemmas that cause contradictions between the two countries.

The energy projects, the gas pipeline project, bilateral trade, collective economic developments, and Pakistan's stand on JCPOA can improve the relationship between Iran and Pakistan.

In the end, I have described the consequences of P.M Imran's visit to Iran. And I have concluded the lecture with my viewpoints over the future of the Pak-Iran relationship.

I hope this lecture will be sufficient in making your views clear on this topic. Do give your feedback in the comments section.
