Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said 800,000 Afghan migrants had arrived in the country in the past four months.
According to a statement from the Foreign Ministry, Abdollahian in a telephone conversation with his Norwegian counterpart, Anniken Huitfeldt, addressed the issue of Afghanistan, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and the negotiations on the nuclear program.
Abdollahian noted that with the onset of cold weather, the number of Afghan migrants arriving in Iran has also increased. “Every day, 5,000 Afghans come to the Iranian border. In the last 4 months, 800 thousand immigrants from Afghanistan have come to Iran. “We are trying to send aid inside Afghanistan to these people who have been displaced from their homes.”
He added that the humanitarian aid that Norway will send can be sent by land and air to people in need.
Speaking about the negotiations on the nuclear program in the Austrian capital, Vienna, Minister Abdollahian stressed that the overall progress is positive. “If the other side fully returns to their commitments in the nuclear deal, Iran will also return. Western countries must present their good intentions not only in words but also in deeds. “The current steps are the lifting of sanctions and the return to the nuclear deal,” Abdollahian said.
Meanwhile, Norwegian Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt announced that a meeting on the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and Yemen would be held in Oslo in January, and invited his Iranian counterpart Abdollahian to the meeting.
