Iranian, Indian FMs Discuss Afghanistan Crisis

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The foreign ministers of Iran and India held talks about a range of issues in a phone call, including the situation in Afghanistan.

In the telephone conversation on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar discussed the latest developments in the relations between Tehran and New Delhi in various fields.

The two diplomats also talked about the most important regional issues, including the conditions in Afghanistan.

Earlier this month, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs played host to a round of intra-Afghan negotiations involving representatives of the Kabul government and the Taliban.

The gathering was attended by the representative of the Afghan government, the top figures supporting the Republic system in Afghanistan, and a high-ranking political delegation of the Taliban.

The two-day intra-Afghan talks ended on July 8 with a 6-clause statement. The parties attending the talks acknowledged the threats of prolonged war in Afghanistan and the consequent damages to their country.

They also agreed in the statement that war is not a solution to the problems of Afghanistan and called for collective efforts to achieve a political and peaceful solution.
