Afghanistan: Tehran accredits Islamic Emirate diplomat

KABUL, 28 April 2022, (TON): A source at the Afghanistan embassy in Iran confirmed that Tehran accredited an Islamic Emirate diplomat in the embassy.

The source told media “although diplomats of the former government are still heading up the issues related to consulate services in Iran, the Islamic Emirate’s diplomat is working as third secretary.”

Sayed Noorullah Raghi, an Afghan former diplomat said “Iran is willing to address some issues via engagement, the two countries share a long border and things like drug and human smuggling happen along the border, so Iran wants to solve these things by engagement.”

Abbas Hussaini, an Afghan journalist in Iran said “this move will increase engagement and the Islamic Emirate will be aware of movements happening between countries, especially about Afghan refugees in Iran.”

In the meantime, officials of the Islamic Emirate did not offer any information about a new diplomat in Tehran, stating only that several diplomats of the Islamic Emirate are working in embassies.
