(MENAFN- Khaama Press) The Iranian foreign Ministry has denied any involvement in any changes to the hangover and development of the Afghanistan embassy in Tehran. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran issued a statement on Sunday that read,“The issue of handing over and transformation of the Afghan embassy in Tehran is an internal matter and related to Afghanistan, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran has not entered into the matter by any means.”
It said the Iranian Foreign Ministry had not received any documents, equipment, or other supplies from the Afghan Embassy in Tehran.
This comes after the announcement by the Taliban government saying that the Afghanistan embassy in Tehran was“formally” handed over to the Taliban on Sunday.
The Taliban government has appointed Fazl Mohammad Haqqani, the first secretary of the former ambassador of Afghanistan in Iran, as the group's charge d'affairs in Tehran, and all documents and equipment of the embassy have been handed over to him.
The Afghan embassy in Tehran was supposed to be handed over to the Taliban government after months of negotiations, according to an unofficial source.
Initially, Haqqani was the candidate for the position, but the Iranian foreign ministry objected to his appointment as the new ambassador to Tehran then.
Iran is the third country, after Pakistan and Russia, to have given the Taliban control of the Afghan embassy. Iran has cooperated with the Taliban since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021, and its diplomatic representation has been active in Kabul.
