“Humanity must unite to fight this pandemic,” the prime minister wrote in his tweet.
Earlier this week, PM Imran in a media briefing called on the world community to remove sanctions on Iran so that it can deal with the novel coronavirus crisis.
The Prime Minister said, “I urged the world community to lift the sanctions on Iran. It is very unjust they are dealing with such a large outbreak on one side, and on the other, they are facing international sanctions.
Iran is among the worst affected country from coronavirus in the world with more than 1,500 people have died.
