Iran and Pakistan say they are intent on expanding ties after opening two major projects on joint border.

The assurance comes as Islamabad’s ties with Washington have gradually cooled in recent years.

Many parts of the country appear “like a sea,” Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Wednesday, after visiting flood-hit areas that cover almost a third of the South Asian nation.

Pakistan say the devastating floods that have hit the South Asian nation are caused by the climate change effects due to "irresponsible development of the developed world".

Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi says the Islamic Republic supports establishment of peace and stability in Syria, and is strongly opposed to foreign intervention in the country’s internal affairs.

The Pakistani rupee has plunged to an all-time low due to the US dollar’s continued upward spiral against the currency amid political uncertainty in the South Asian country.

Amid the political crisis in Pakistan, opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif has been installed as the new premier, with the cricketer turned politician, Imran Khan, back on the streets, mobilizing his supporters against what he calls an “imported government”.
