History
After Pakistan gained its independence in August 1947, Iran was the first country to recognize its sovereign status.
Economic and trade relations between Iran and Pakistan continued to expand in both absolute and relative terms, leading to the signing of a Free Trade Agreement between the two countries in 1999.
Both countries are founding members of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO).
At present, both countries are cooperating and forming alliances in a number of areas of mutual interest, such as fighting the drug trade along their common border and combating the Baluchistan insurgency along their border.
Iran has expressed an interest joining the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor.
