Iran stresses consultations for regional stability amid Afghanistan–Pakistan tensions
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi held a phone call with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to discuss bilateral relations and the latest regional and international developments, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.
During the conversation, Araqchi highlighted ongoing efforts to reduce tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, stressing the need for expanded consultations to help safeguard regional peace and stability. He also reiterated Tehran’s readiness to assist in facilitating dialogue.
Fidan, emphasizing that regional peace and stability are closely interconnected, called for collective efforts by all countries to protect stability across the region.
Ties between Afghanistan and Pakistan have remained strained in recent years. Around one month ago, clashes between the two neighbours left dozens dead, further heightening concerns over regional security.
