In line with the government policies to expand its international scientific and technological ties, a joint working group on information and communication technologies has been established between Iran and the neighboring Pakistan.
During a Thursday meeting in Islamabad, Pakistan, between senior tech authorities from both sides, the working group was established as an adjunct unit of Iran-Pakistan Border Trade Committee. 
Iran's Deputy ICT Minister Sattar Hashemi and Pakistan's Federal Minister for IT and Telecom Shoaib Ahmad Siddiqui are set to co-chair the new group, IRNA reported. 
“The newly-established unit is aimed at boosting collaboration for the development of ICT infrastructure, regulations and space science,” Sajjad Bonabi, the vice chairman of the board of Telecommunications Infrastructure Company of Iran, said in a tweet.
