MYC team returns from Iran

LAHORE: A nine-member delegation of Milli Yakjehti Council (MYC) led by secretary general Liaqat Baloch completed its weeklong visit to Iran Wednesday for promotion harmony and brotherhood among brother Muslim countries.

During the visit, the MYC leaders went to Tehran, Qum and Mashhad where they held meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Jawad Zarif, Iranian leader Ayatollah Qumi, vice-chancellors and professors of different universities and top clerics. Liaqat Baloch said Muslim countries were endowed with enormous resources but the gifts of Allah Almighty had never been utilised for the welfare of the masses due to internal and external rifts in the Muslim world. He said Pakistan, Turkey and Malaysia should play their role in the normalization of relations among Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
