Iranian foreign minister meets Afghan president
The meeting follows the hosting of a Taliban delegation by Iran earlier this year. Iran is critical of the US military presence in Afghanistan, and the Biden administration has not committed to the May deadline to remove American troops from the country.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Tuesday.
The top Iranian diplomat met the Afghan president at a conference in Tajikistan. The two expressed a desire to improve bilateral relations and also discussed the peace process in Afghanistan. They spoke about efforts to combat human trafficking from Iran into Afghanistan and the legal status of Afghans in Iran, the Iranian state Fars News Agency reported on Wednesday.
