The country’s former president talked about the peace process as well.
“Peace initiatives for Afghanistan have recently begun. Moscow peace format in the presence of the Tehreek-e-Taliban and the High Peace Council of Afghanistan, as well as the new efforts of the United States, have given hopes, and I call on the Islamic Republic of Iran to cooperate fully in this regard,” he further said.
