Bayan News – Hassan Kazemi Qomi, ambassador and special representative of the Iranian president for Afghanistan, stated that preventing the increase in Afghan migration and assisting the Taliban in fighting terrorism were key topics at the Moscow Format meeting.

Qomi made these remarks yesterday, October 12, in an exclusive interview with IRNA news agency.

He added that participants in the Moscow Format emphasized serious efforts to combat terrorism in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and to improve the living conditions of Afghan citizens.
