ICRC Praises Iran’s Support for Afghans
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) applauded Iran for aiding the people of Afghanistan.
A delegation representing the International Committee of the Red Cross held a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian on the sidelines of an emergency session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), held in Islamabad on Sunday.
The ICRC delegation praised Iran for its constructive role in supporting and helping the Afghan people.
The delegation also gave a report on the ICRC’s humanitarian assistance program in Afghanistan, saying the Geneva-based organization has established 12 assistance bases across Afghanistan with the participation of some 1,850 forces, including the local and foreign staffers.
In September, Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres described Iran as a very influential country among the UN member states and praised the Islamic Republic for hosting the Afghan refugees generously.
