TEHRAN- Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran's Special Envoy for Afghanistan, has expressed that Afghanistan’s stability and security determine the stability and security of the whole region.

In a post on X on Saturday, he said that Afghanistan is one of the important issues of the foreign policy of the countries in the region. 

During his visit to Islamabad, he stressed that the peace and stability of the region is dependent on the peace and stability in Afghanistan. 

He also held talks in Kabul with the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Taliban ruling government Amir Khan Muttaqi as discussing issues of mutual interest in a meeting.

The two sides talked about combating terrorism and takfiri groups, as well as the creation of a joint judicial committee to share Iran’s judicial experiences with Afghanistan and extradite prisoners.

The Iranian delegation also met the head of the judicial council, the attorney general, and some members of the judicial council of Afghanistan during their stay in Kabul.

Last weeks, the deputy prime minister of the Taliban for political affairs, Mohammed Abdul Kabir and Kazemi Qomi attended a meeting, discussing ways to combat terrorism in the region.

Declaring the terrorist group Daesh to be the shared adversary of Iran and Afghanistan, Abdul Kabir asserted the group’s goal is to kill innocent people and undermine regional stability.

Additionally, he expressed gratitude to Iran for its support of Afghanistan, stating that it encourages deeper ties with all of its neighbors.

The Taliban’s explicit stance is that no danger emanating from Afghanistan should be directed at other countries, he noted, underlining Kabul’s efforts to play a positive role in the building of regional peace and stability.

Last month in a meeting with an Iranian media delegation in Kabul, Muttaqi characterized relations between Kabul and Tehran as progressing towards growth.

In a meeting with Muttaqi, in Tehran, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, the Foreign Minister of Iran, said that Afghanistan has to take practical steps to address the current issues, such as water sharing and border security, between the two nations.

He pointed out that Tehran and Kabul have established significant ties in a number of areas and expressed hope that the acting Taliban government in Afghanistan would work with Tehran to find practical solutions to some of its current issues.

The senior Iranian diplomat also pointed to a recent meeting in Tehran in favor of Palestine and praised the Afghan delegation, led by Muttaqi, for its active involvement in the gathering.

He also discussed developments in the besieged Gaza Strip and encouraged all Muslim and freedom-seeking countries to assist the Palestinian people in the face of the genocidal atrocities being committed by the occupying Israeli regime.
