Tehran Announces Readiness To Hold Extraordinary Meeting on Afghanistan
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's foreign minister, said that Tehran is ready to hold an "extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers of Afghanistan's neighbours". He discussed the issue in a meeting with Sadiq Khan, Pakistan's special representative for Afghanistan.
Iranian foreign minister, however, didn’t elaborate on the details of the proposed meeting.
Abdollahian referred to the presence of more than four million Afghan refugees in Iran and said that Iran supports "peace and stability in Afghanistan so that the refugees are able to return to their country".
Abdollahian emphasised that Tehran uses "all its capacities to establish peace and tranquility in Afghanistan".
Recalling last year's meeting of foreign ministers of Afghanistan's neighbouring countries in Tehran, he urged for the implementation of the resolutions of the meeting to overcome the security threats to Afghanistan and the region.
Pakistan's representative in Afghanistan affairs, also said in a meeting, that "current developments in Afghanistan have impacted living standards of Afghans and has increased instability inside and outside the country".
Sadiq Khan emphasised on the importance of the constructive role of regional countries regarding Afghanistan affairs.
