This was agreed during a trilateral meeting between President Asif Ali Zardari, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here on Friday.
The three leaders agreed that terrorism is a big hurdle in the way of regional development, which must be tackled and eliminated through enhanced cooperation and that trade and economic activities should be promoted within the region.
They also expressed their resolve to find indigenous solution of the regional issues.
Zardari is in the Iranian capital to attend the global summit on combating terror to be held on Saturday (today), on the invitation of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.
President Ahmadinejad said that unity, brotherhood and consensus are the sources of power for Muslim countries. 
In a meeting with President Zardari, Ahmadinejad noted that the pillars of life should be built on the basis of justice and morality. ‘Our region is a region of values and aliens who are not acquainted with these values have intentionally focuses on such values to prevent Muslim countries from becoming powerful,’ Ahmadinejad added. 
He went on to say that Muslim countries should insist on their principles and values, as well as the rights and interests of their nations while at the same time maintaining their solidarity. ‘We should prepare the prerequisites for the regional Muslim countries becoming powerful because if we become strong, the situation will change and hence no one will dare to attack the countries of the region,’ Ahmadinejad added. 
President Zardari for his part said that the foreigners do not know anything about the cultures and values of Muslim countries of the region and even if they want to help the regional nations they cannot do so. ‘For example, foreigners instead of building schools in Afghanistan and utilising that country’s mineral resources for the welfare of Afghan people are engaged in other affairs,’ Zardari added.
He pointed out that the Westerners are trying to take grip of the world’s economy and impose their viewpoints on the people of Third World countries. ‘We are firmly resisting and do not let them to impose their thoughts and ideas on us,’ President Zardari added. 
Zardari and Ahmadinejad also expressed the resolve for enhancing mutual coordination for countering terrorism, narcotics control and human trafficking besides sanitizing the borders from the terrorists.
