Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the deadly terrorist attack in Pakistan and urged the international cooperation to tackle the problem, semi-official Mehr news agency reported Sunday.

In a statement, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi offered condolences to the government and people of Pakistan, and the families of victims.

"Still the international responsibility remains on the place to address the cruel events in the region in the face of atrocities afflicting the people on daily basis," Qasemi was quoted as saying.

"Fight with extremism entails strong resolve and global coordination," he said.

At least 18 people were killed and more than 50 others injured in the two suicide attacks on Friday in the northwest province of Pakistan, reports said.
