Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that Saudi Arabia and Iran are brotherly nations and Pakistan wants to defuse tensions between the two countries, Dawn newspaper reported Wednesday.
Speaking to media in Tehran after meeting Iranian President Hasan Rouhani and his cabinet members, the premier said Pakistan had achieved success in normalizing ties between the two countries in 1997 and also played the same role during tensions between Iran and Iraq.
