The two sides reviewed the close ties between the two countries, discussed existing cooperation and opportunities for further development in various fields, said the report, Xinhua reported.

The crown prince commended Sharif for his efforts to support Pakistan's development and strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries.

The two sides also discussed developments in the regional and international situation, focusing particularly on the Iran-US talks in Islamabad, and emphasized the importance of continuing diplomatic efforts to restore stability in the region.

The talks between Iranian and US delegations last weekend in Islamabad concluded without results, with efforts reportedly underway for another round of talks later this week.
