Tehran:  Hundreds of thousands of Afghan nationals who have been living in neighboring countries including Iran and Pakistan, have started returning to Afghanistan where law and order have improved to a great extent after the Taliban came into power.   

As law and order improve under the Taliban, hundreds of thousands of Afghan families have returned to their native cities and towns. The majority of Afghan families who have returned to Afghanistan were residing in Iran.

It is worth mentioning here that millions of Afghan nationals had taken refuge in Iran and Pakistan following decades-old fighting across Afghanistan. Soon after the US withdrawal, the Taliban came into power with a big bang last year.

One of the biggest challenges that which Taliban government had to face, was the restoration of peace and stability across war-torn Afghanistan. However, under the current leadership of the Taliban government, authorities took only one year to restore peace and stability across the country.

“ As law and order improved, business is returning to cities, economic activity has been generated that has created tens of thousands of jobs. People are returning from neighboring countries. It’s our responsibility to restore peace and stability across the country. We are on it. It all happened in the first year of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” Inamullah Samangani, Director of General Media told The Islamabad Telegraph.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian held meeting with Pakistan’s Special Representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadiq Khan, to discuss the current situation in Afghanistan and the recent developments.

The top Iranian diplomat underscored that the implementation of the decisions made at the Tehran meeting on Afghanistan can bring security and stability to the region and help secure Afghanistan, Tehran Times reported.

He said that 4.5 million refugees from Afghanistan are now residing in Iran, of whom more than 1.5 million have immigrated to the country since the Taliban came to power last year.

Amir Abdollahian went on to add that “restoration of peace and stability in Afghanistan will lead to the return of the Afghan refugees to their country, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will use all its capacities for the establishment of peace and stability in Afghanistan and the wellbeing of the people in that country.”

For his part, the Pakistani envoy elaborated on Islamabad’s views on developments in Afghanistan and the prevailing conditions there, which have resulted in the deterioration of people’s living conditions due to internal disputes and international pressures, saying that the constructive roles played by regional countries, particularly Iran and Pakistan, are critical. 

Elsewhere in his remarks, Amir Abdollahian said although relations between the two Islamic republics are excellent, they still need to be strengthened between the two brotherly and neighboring countries to strengthen regional security, Tehran Times reported.

He also asked Sadeq Khan to extend the warm greetings of the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to the Pakistani officials, including the president and prime minister.

The foreign minister stated that Iran views Pakistan’s security as being equal to its own and that Iran is poised to ratchet up security cooperation with Pakistan, which will bolster regional security.
