ISLAMABAD: Iran and Pakistan on Tuesday signed a series of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to enhance bilateral cooperation in broadcasting, film production, media regulation, and cultural exchange, marking a new chapter in the enduring partnership between the two brotherly nations, said an official statement on Tuesday. The agreements were inked between the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and five major Pakistani media entities, including Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV), Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), Box Office (Pvt) Ltd, Sab TV Network, and VSH TV, during a ceremony held in Islamabad, the statement added. These agreements aim to foster collaborative content creation, promote cultural understanding, and streamline media practices across both countries, said the statement. Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan, Dr Reza Amiri Moghadam, said the new framework would bring the people of Pakistan and Iran closer through enhanced cultural understanding and media exchange. “These agreements will not only promote cooperation between our media organisations but also pave the way for broader public diplomacy,” the ambassador said. Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar termed the visit of the Iranian media delegation productive and inspiring, saying the signing of MoUs reflected both governments’ resolve to strengthen people-to-people connections and promote shared values of peace, brotherhood, and resistance against oppression.
