Iran's Foreign Minister Set to Visit Kabul

Hossein Amir Abdollahian will soon visit Kabul to shore up ties between the two countries. His visit is expected to encourage diplomatic, economic, and security relations with Afghanistan while confronting the political issues in the region.

The issues with international relations, security, and governance remain pertinent despite Afghanistan's transition to a new phase of political development, particularly with the Taliban now in power. Iran’s geography means it is keen to develop stable relations with Afghanistan. They want to expand relationships to ensure commerce, border security, and counter-terrorism policy remain effective. 

Although the visit's agenda has not been disclosed to the public, experts anticipate talks will include topics such as border security, Afghan refugees, and the country's evolving political landscape. Iran has hosted a significant number of Afghan refugees over the years and the civilians remain a key humanitarian issue. The protection and well-being of Afghan refugees in Iran may be the main priority for the Iranian delegation.

Additionally, Hashem Ashjazadeh, Iran's Director-General for South Asia and Special Envoy for Kabul, met with Muhammad Sadiq in Islamabad on Monday for discussions. He is Pakistan's special representative for Afghanistan.

Sadiq said there are plans to visit China and Russia to talk with officials about Afghanistan-related matters. The Islamic Emirate has repeatedly stated that Kabul is eager to build friendly ties with its neighbors and within the region. It is also ready to expand its relations with the rest of the world while keeping an eye on economic growth.
