On Sunday, Pezeshkian met with Amir Khan Muttaqi on the sidelines of this pivotal forum held in Tehran. The discussions revolved around enhancing ties between the two neighboring countries, focusing on mutual assistance and collaboration.

In response, Amir Khan Muttaqi acknowledged Iran’s role as a “well-intentioned and good neighbor.” He expressed Afghanistan’s desire to reciprocate this goodwill, seeking to establish itself as a trustworthy neighbor to Iran. During their conversation, he highlighted several key points regarding the relationship between the two nations:

  • Common Views on International Issues: Both countries align on various international and regional matters, including the situation in Palestine.
  • Balanced Policy for Interaction: Afghanistan aims to adopt a balanced policy to foster broader and more constructive interactions with regional partners, particularly Iran.

Moreover, Muttaqi noted the impressive volume of trade between Iran and Afghanistan, which currently stands at $3 billion. He expressed optimism that, with Iran’s assistance, Afghanistan could evolve into a secure hub for regional trade and transit. He mentioned that the cultivation of narcotics has significantly decreased in Afghanistan, and the threat from the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group has been effectively eliminated.

In addition to economic collaboration, Muttaqi expressed his gratitude towards Iran for hosting millions of Afghan refugees. He stated that Afghanistan is making efforts to facilitate the gradual return of these refugees, demonstrating a commitment to rebuilding and stabilizing the nation.

Furthermore, he highlighted Afghanistan’s ambition to transform its borders into opportunities for mutual benefit, aiming to elevate trade relations with Iran through expanded economic cooperation. This vision reflects a strong desire for partnership and growth between the two countries, fostering a climate of mutual respect and collaboration.
