Speaking in a meeting during his visit to Qom city, President Raisi said that Afghanistan's security is Iran's security and insecurity in that country is equal to insecurity in Iran.
All our efforts are for a government in Afghanistan that people feel belongs to all Afghan groups and ethnicities and assures peace in the country, Raisi noted.
He also mentioned that near four million Afghan nationals live in Iran and their life has been so intermingled with Iranians that cannot be distinguished.
The President also praised Afghan fighters, including Haidarioun, Zaynabiun, and Fitimiyun militants, who have fought against extremist groups like the ISIS in the region.
Raisi underlined that the same extremist groups now want to prevent peace and security in Afghanistan, as they attack Shia mosques in that country.
He also praised the character of the late General Qasem Soleimani who was assassinated by the US army on January 3, 2020, saying that Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamanei rightfully described Soleimani's path as a school of thought that must be introduced to the world.
