Defense minister Mostafa Mohammad Najar told his counterpart Abdul Rahim Wardak that Iran has always been on the side of Afghan people due to political, cultural, religious, and geopolitical merits.
“Development of ties with all Muslim and neighboring countries, especially the friendly and brotherly Afghanistan nation, is a foreign policy priority of the government of Dr. Ahmadinejad,”

Iran considers peace and stability in Afghanistan as its own and according to this strategy it has been a supporter of peace in Afghanistan.
Tehran and Kabul have close relationship in terms of security and reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan, the Iranian minister stated. Najar reiterated that Iran is willing to help its eastern neighbor to perpetuate peace and security.
