The delegation during the visit participated in the Islamic awakening conference of international religious scholars, which was held in Tehran.

 

“This visit took place as a result of the official invitation by the Iranian government and the members of the Islamic Emirate conveyed voice and demands of their people and mojahedin to the representatives of different countries of the world and briefed them about the current situation in Afghanistan”.

 

The delegation and senior Iranian officials discussed different issues, particularly problems of Afghan refugees who are living in Iran now. They asked Iranian officials to pay attention in resolving problems of the Afghan refugees and take steps to prevent harsh incidents.
