Relations between Afghanistan and Iran have roots in both nations as the two enjoy commonalities in culture, said the parliamentarian while referring to about three millions of Afghan refugees being hosted in Iran.

Tens of people may daily lose their lives in deserts and mountains as those places are routes for traffickers of the contraband and human beings, as refugees.
The Afghan lawmaker stated that any problems between the two nations can peacefully be solved through international regulations and brotherly, friendly, and neighboring cooperation.
