Washington: United States (US) has refused from commenting on the recent breakthrough in Pakistan-Iran bilateral ties as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Iran's President Seyed Ebrahim Raisi jointly inaugurated a cross-border marketplace.
When questioned about this development, a spokesperson from the US State Department stated that they had no comments to provide on the engagement between the two neighboring countries.
