Afghanistan urged to hinder Afghans’ illegal crossing into Iran

Tehran, IRNA – The Iranian authorities expect Afghanistan to avoid illegal crossing of Afghan nationals into Iran in order to pave the way for more cooperation regarding legal crossings, an Iranian diplomat said.

Deputy Minister for Consular, Parliamentary, and Iranian Expatriates Affairs Alireza Bikdeli made the comment in a meeting with a Taliban diplomat in Tehran on Wednesday.

Bikdeli also presented a report on the main topics of the joint consular commission of Iran and Afghanistan.

The Iranian official voiced support for regular meetings on consular cooperation between the two neighboring countries.

Touching upon to the fact that Afghan citizens are very keen on taking part in the Arbaeen processions, which marks the fortieth day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussain (A.S) and his companions in Karbala around 14 centuries ago, Bikdeli called for more coordination between the two states to pave the ground for the travel of Afghan pilgrims during the mourning ceremony.
