Palestinians will emerge successful in the war with Israel and Pakistan’s position against the Zionist forces is commendable.

The Palestinians will emerge as victorious, says Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi during his visit to the Tomb of Iqbal in Lahore.

He said that Israelis who oppress Palestinians will suffer defeat.

Allama Iqbal showed a new way to the Muslim Ummah, the president said.

He added that Iqbal’s poetry can play the role of a bridge in Iran-Pakistan relations. Pakistan and Iran have strong fraternal ties, he continued. The relationship between the two countries will grow stronger with time, he hoped.

It feels like I am at home during this visit to Pakistan, said Raisi.

Earlier, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi arrived in Lahore where, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz received him at airport.

The Punjab chief minister introduced her cabinet members to the visiting president.

The Iranian president will meet businessmen community in the city.  He will also visit Minar-e-Pakistan and the Badshahi Masjid, where he will offer prayers.

Raisi is scheduled to travel to Karachi later in the day. He is expected to stay in the port city today
