Iran and Afghanistan enjoy strong age-old relations, Kazzemi Qomi said during the meeting in Kabul on Tuesday.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will always stand by the Afghan people,” he added.

Muttaqi, for his part, referred to the problems that Afghanistan is facing these days, and expressed the hope that these problems would be resolved soon.

Kazzemi Qomi arrived in Kabul on Monday for a three-day visit to hold talks with Taliban authorities.

After meeting with a number of senior Taliban officials on Monday, he underlined that the US was defeated in Afghanistan and is now trying to support the ISIL terrorist group to compensate for its failures in the region.

"The aggressor country that ruled Afghanistan for the past 20 years is now trying to reinforce Takfiri Groups in Afghanistan after its defeat," the Iranian envoy told reporters in the Afghan capital.

He added that the purpose of his visit to Kabul was to discuss interim government, political, economic, security, and Afghan refugee issues.

Kazzemi Qomi said that Iran respects the will of the Afghan people and Tehran's stance is in line with the wishes of the Afghan people.

He, meanwhile, expressed the hope that with the formation of a strong government in Afghanistan, stability would prevail in the region.
