Salami appreciated the efforts of Pakistan to reduce tensions in the region while also highlighting the need for increased unity among the Islamic Ummah in face of sinister plots of enemies.
Iran considers all the Islamic World’s geography when it comes to defending the Islamic Ummah and sees no difference between Shia and Sunni Muslims, added Salami.
