Russia, Iran determined to help end crisis in Afghanistan: Official

Tehran, IRNA – An Iranian official has underscored that the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran are determined to collaborate in order to pave the way for terminating the existing crisis in Afghanistan. Hassan Kazemi Ghomi, Iran’s special envoy in Afghanistan affairs, wrote on his Twitter account on Tuesday that in a meeting with the Russian ambassador to Tehran the two sides had exchanged views on cooperation and common concerns, including terrorism and its supporters in Afghanistan. The special envoy went on to say that a destabilizing movement attempts to make use of different tools such as the Daesh terrorist group in a bid to pave the way for continuation of the crisis in Afghanistan. Amid his recent trip to Pakistan, Kazemi Ghomi tweeted on November 9 that the security and stability of Afghanistan are translated into security in the regional countries, but the United States and some of its allied governments are sources of instability in West Asia. Afghanistan has been suffering from insecurity and instability since the invasion of the country by the United States and its NATO allies in 2001. The war-torn state is now affected by the US’ hazardous withdrawal in 2021. Follow us on Twitter @IrnaEnglish
