TEHRAN- Senior border officials from Iran and Qatar have engaged in discussions aimed at enhancing border cooperation between their nations.

As reported by IRNA, Brigadier General Ahmad-Ali Goudarzi, the commander of the Iranian Border Guard, is currently visiting Doha to participate in a joint meeting focused on coastal and border security. 

During his visit, Goudarzi met with Major General Nasser Jabor Al Naimi, the director-general of Coasts and Borders Security at the Qatari Ministry of Interior, on Thursday. 

The Iranian commander emphasized the importance of collaborative maritime patrols and the need to combat smuggling and unauthorized crossings and pointed out, “Achieving sustainable security and protecting the borders are among Iran's primary objectives.”
