More than 3,000 Afghan refugees have been expelled from neighbouring Iran and Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan in a single day, an official said on Monday.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei says his country shares nearly 2,000 kilometres of common border with Afghanistan and Pakistan and any tension between the two neighbours affects Tehran.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has reiterated its position on reopening trade routes with Pakistan, stating that the routes will only be reopened once strong guarantees are received from the Pakistani government.
