Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Foreign Ministry says that the international community and organizations should recognize that Afghanistan in its current situation cannot tolerate new setbacks.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Ministry said that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as one of the first signatories to the United Nations Charter, supports constructive initiatives that can ensure peace, stability, security, and territorial integrity of Afghanistan.

Stability and security in Afghanistan and the region require the United Nations to pay special attention to humanitarian issues, problems, and conditions needed to carry out its duties and responsibilities, added the statement.

As in the past years, the Islamic Republic has sought to follow a path to help the noble people of Afghanistan resist the hardships of its occupation by understanding the difficult conditions of the country in the post-occupation era, it noted.

Iran seeks to reduce the suffering of the people of Afghanistan in the transition period, it further noted.

The statement said that the continued hosting of millions of Afghans, supporting trade and commerce, facilitating the movement of Afghan residents and citizens, providing services in healthcare, and helping visually impaired people from natural disasters, represent the constructive approach and humanitarian goals of the Islamic Republic toward its neighbor in recent years. 

Reviewing the developments in Afghanistan has proved that a failure to overcome the upcoming situation will lead to devastating consequences for international peace and security, it underlined.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry underscored that the international community and organizations should recognize that "the current Afghanistan cannot tolerate a new setback".
