Iran Sets Priorities for Diplomatic and Economic Missions in Afghanistan for Solar Year 1405
KABUL (Afghan Verified) -- Iran's embassy in Kabul announced priorities for its diplomatic and economic missions in Afghanistan for the solar year 1405.
Ali Razabikdeli met with Iran's consuls general in Herat and Mazar to establish these priorities, the embassy reported. The most important mission is to start construction on the Herat-Mazar railway line.
