Khatibzadeh: Afghan People’s Conditions of High Importance for IranIn a press conference in Tehran on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said that conditions of the Afghan people are important to Iran.

“The current condition in Afghanistan is important for Iran and we take it serious that the winter has started while Afghan people are under severe economic pressures. Iran cannot be indifferent to the situation in Afghanistan. In all days and months and despite all the difficulties, we tried to keep the crossings open for interactions,”Khatibzadeh said.

He went on to refer to the recent visit by Iranian President's special envoy for Afghanistan Hassan Kazzemi Qomi to Afghanistan and noted that “The ruling body in Afghanistan has a direct responsibility to ensure the security of Afghanistan's borders.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said that “Certain terrorist groups are recruiting and organizing terrorist acts, and, in particular the ISIL poses a serious threat to the future of Afghanistan and the region, that’s why we decided to work closely together to tackle this issue.”

Last week, Kazzemi Qomi visited Kabul for a three-day trip to hold talks with Taliban authorities and other Afghan politicians.
