TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh in a Twitter message stressed that the meeting of Afghanistan neighbors hosted by Tehran is meant to show their opposition to interference of foreigners in that country's political structure.
"Lasting peace and stability depend on the fulfillment of the people's will," Khatibzadeh tweeted.

He said that Iranian President Seyed Ebrahim Rayeesi will inaugurate the meeting and deliver a speech.
