During a meeting with Iranian Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghaddam, who called on him here, the minister said,” Cooperation between the two countries in the fields of media is the need of the hour.” The minister and the ambassador discussed issues of mutual interest, fraternal relations between the two countries and promotion of cooperation in the field of media. “Cooperation between the two countries in the field of media is indispensable,” Murtaza Solangi said. A memorandum of understanding had already been signed between the Associated Press of Pakistan and the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), while many other agreements were under process to enhance cooperation between television, films, cinema, literary and linguistic institutions, he maintained. These agreements, he said, would help project real culture and traditions of the two brotherly countries.
