Iran-Pakistan-Ahmadinejad
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Pakistan's support for Iran's lawful rights in the International Atomic Energy Agency is a token of the existing grave friendly ties between the two countries.

Ahmadinejad made the remark during a phone conversation with his Pakistani counterpart Pervez Musharraf late Thursday.

The President recalled his meeting with Musharraf on the sidelines of the UN summit in New York recently and said that he believed the Islamabad's positions have created a brilliant perspective for bilateral relations in future.

Musharraf stressed the need for strengthening ties between the two brotherly nations and extended his invitation to Ahmadinejad to visit Pakistan.

Describing the approach of his country towards Iran's nuclear issue as being "quite transparent," Musharraf said both Pakistani government and nation were against use of force and exerting pressures against countries.

Musharraf stressed that any solution to the problem should fall within framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

He further noted that his country would do its best to have Iran's nuclear problem settled in the peaceful manner.
