Karachi, the bustling metropolis and financial hub of Pakistan, has made a significant decision to allow pilgrims from Sindh to embark on their journey to Iran by bus and in their own cars this year. The move aims to facilitate religious pilgrimage and promote bilateral tourism between the two regions.
According to the spokesperson of Sindh Chief Minister, the buses and vehicles will travel from Karachi to Iran via the Chabahar road. This decision was reached during a meeting between Hasan Noorin, the Consul General of Iran, and Murad Ali Shah, the Chief Minister of Sindh, where they discussed various aspects of mutual interest and cooperation.
The agreement will provide pilgrims with more flexibility and convenience in their travel arrangements, fostering stronger cultural ties and promoting people-to-people exchanges between Sindh and Iran. The Chief Minister expressed his intention to request the Foreign Minister to work on opening the road from Karachi to Chabahar, further facilitating the pilgrimage route.
In addition to the pilgrimage aspect, the meeting also highlighted the potential for collaboration in the health and transport sectors. It was agreed that experts from Sindh and Iran would work together to address medical conditions such as thalassemia and heart diseases, further strengthening the healthcare cooperation between the two regions.
The decision to allow pilgrims from Sindh to travel to Iran by bus and cars reflects the commitment of Karachi and Sindh authorities to enhance connectivity, cultural exchange, and bilateral tourism opportunities. This initiative is expected to promote greater understanding and cooperation between the people of Karachi and Iran, fostering closer ties and mutual respect.
