(MENAFN- Khaama Press) On Sunday, the special representative of Iran to Kabul met with his Chinese counterpart to discuss the situation in Afghanistan.
Iran's special envoy and ambassador to Afghanistan, Hassan Kazemi Qomi, met with Yue Xiaoyong in Kabul and discussed how Beijing and Tehran could work together to bring peace and stability.
Qomi tweeted that he had a“cordial and constructive” discussion with the Chinese representative to implement recent decisions made by the Iranian and Chinese presidents.
He also added that Iran and China had held the talks to foster collaboration to ensure long-term peace and stability in Afghanistan.
Last week China and Iran called on Afghanistan to lift its women's education and work restrictions. The request was made in a joint statement released last week at the close of the visit by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to Beijing.
Since the Taliban's return to power in August 2021, the de facto authorities have issued several decrees restricting Afghan women and girls from attending education and work and putting them in complete isolation.
In addition, China and Iran also called on the Taliban to form an inclusive government including all ethnic groups, political parties, gender and other religions and minorities in the country.
The statement also said that the current situation in Afghanistan resulted from the US and its NATO allies' negligence and“should be responsible for the current situation in Afghanistan.”
