“Immigration is a major international problem. Governments have failed to solve this problem by building walls and strict anti-immigration policies and inhumane anti-immigrant approaches. The truth is bitter, but we know that as long as there is poverty, backwardness and unbalanced development among countries, there will be a problem of migration,” he said.
The statement comes after Iranian President-elect Massoud Pazeshkian said during his election campaign that he would shut the borders to Afghan migrants.
