Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Monday that it has not received any formal instructions regarding a visit by President Masoud Pezeshkian to Afghanistan, despite the president himself expressing interest in opening a new chapter in ties with the Taliban-led administration in Kabul.
Speaking at a weekly press briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said, “There is currently no official plan communicated to us for a presidential visit to Afghanistan.”
He emphasized that the government’s recent statements reflected Iran’s ongoing commitment to “good-neighborly relations and brotherhood” with Afghanistan.
