Zardari links global peace to Pakistan prosperity
CHAHBAHAR: President Asif Ali Zardari Monday said that regional and global peace is linked to prosperity in Pakistan.

Addressing at the groundbreaking ceremony of Iran-Pakistan multi-billion gas pipeline project, President Zardari regarded the pipeline project as "very important" for Pakistan.

He said the prosperity of Pakistan and Iran was inter-linked and the former was striving to become self-reliant.

He said the international community was unaware of the problems of regional countries and was not cognizant of appropriate solutions to many issues.

He said the relations between Pakistan and Iran were strengthened through commonality of religion and culture.

He said the gas pipeline project would usher in a new era of progress in Pakistan. The President thanked Iran for extending its cooperation to address Pakistan's energy shortage.
