In a meeting held between Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi on the sidelines of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in Tajik capital of Dushanbe, the two sides discussed the latest situation of region and Afghanistan.
While expressing major concern over the situation of Afghan people and security-political situation in this country, Amir-Abdollahian said that this unfavorable situation is the result of US interventions and irresponsible actions towards Afghanistan.
