FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda During a meeting in Tehran on Monday, Head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Afghanistan Headquarters Mohsen Pak-Ayin and visiting Australian special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Eric Smith exchanged their views about Afghanistan’s future, and explored avenues of opportunity to expand cooperation aimed at promoting peace and stability in the war-battered country.
The two sides also described Tehran-Canberra’s cooperation on the establishment of peace and economic advancement in Afghanistan as satisfactory.
The meeting comes as Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi is due to pay an official day-long visit to Afghanistan on Thursday to attend a regional conference on the future of Iran’s eastern neighbor.
“Iran’s foreign minister will travel to Afghanistan to take part in the Kabul regional meeting, which will be held on June 14, on the future of Afghanistan,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Monday.
He added that during the one-day meeting, Salehi will announce Iran’s policies on ways to establish stability, security and economic development in Afghanistan.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said officials from 13 regional countries and 12 trans-regional states as well as 13 international institutions would participate in the Kabul meeting.
Mehmanparast stated that senior experts would hold a meeting on Wednesday to set the framework for the final statement of the conference.
The US-led invasion of Afghanistan was launched in 2001. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity continues to rise across the country, despite the presence of about 130,000 US-led foreign troops there.
