Tehran to host meeting on Afghan stability: official

Tehran, Aug 10, IRNA – Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said here Tuesday that Tehran will soon host a regional meeting on Afghan stability with participation of seven neighboring countries of that war-torn country.

He told reporters that during the meeting, the Islamic Republic would follow practical measures for establishment of stability and tranquility in Afghanistan.

Referring to great efforts made by the Islamic Republic to help restore peace and stability to the war-stricken country, he said holding trilateral Iran-Pakistan-Afghanistan and Iran-Afghanistan-Tajikistan meetings are among practical steps taken by Tehran to that end.

If other countries, including the US, want to help, they should support such regional efforts to resolve crises and avoid creating tension, the spokesman noted.

Washington was aware how important Tehran was for the stability of Afghanistan and Iraq, Mehman-Parast reiterated./end
