Iran Envoy Qomi Emphasizes Need to Hold National Dialogue in Afghanistan

In a special interview with TOLOnews, Qomi said his country wants an inclusive government to be established in Afghanistan.

Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran’s ambassador to Kabul, believes that beginning a political dialogue is the only way to resolve the current situation in Afghanistan.

In a special interview with TOLOnews, Qomi said his country wants an inclusive government to be established in Afghanistan.

“If the Islamic Republic talks, it talks as a brother, it speaks out of kindness, it speaks in the manner of consulting, and it does not mean interference. We experienced in Bonn a portion of the reality of Afghanistan that was not considered. See what happened,” Qomi, said.

He said that Iran interacts closely and seriously with the Islamic Emirate to support the people of Afghanistan in various sectors.

“On the basis of supporting the Afghan people, the Islamic Republic maintains a serious and strong interaction with the Taliban in the economic and commercial sectors,” Iran’s ambassador to Kabul added.

Hassan Kazemi Qomi claimed that the United States supports Daesh in Afghanistan.

However, the Islamic Emirate, regarding Qomi’s statements on inclusive dialogue, said that publicizing some individuals would harm the nation’s political society.

“Individuals and groups with a very bad record in Afghanistan–those who people hate– putting them up again will cause great harm to the political society of Afghanistan,” said Zabiullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate.

Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran’s ambassador to Afghanistan, said that more than five million Afghan immigrants live in Iran and that Iran has provided improved services for them, in an interview with TOLOnews.
