Abdulmutallab Haqqani, the spokesman of the Ministry of Refugees Affairs of the caretaker government of Afghanistan in an interview with the IRNA news agency reporter in Kabul, said that Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran, in addition to good diplomatic relations and international principles, have many religious and cultural commonalities.
"Therefore, these two neighboring Muslim countries have rights against each other," he said.
Haqqani stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran hosted millions of Afghan immigrants well in the last 40 years.
"We ask the Islamic Republic of Iran to tolerate the presence of Afghan immigrants for some more time and be patient with them so that we facilitate their dignified return to the country," he added.
