Abdul Kabir said he would present a plan to Tehran to solve the problems of Afghan returnees to Iran.
Violence and increasing tense situation on the border
This development has come to light amid the most dangerous border clashes between the Taliban and Pakistani security forces last week. According to the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), at least 37 people were killed and 425 injured in these clashes. According to sources, a Taliban delegation will go to Doha for talks to stop the increasing violence.
