Iranian Diplomat On Iranian Payments To Afghanistan President: Iran Supports Afghan Reconstruction

A senior Iranian diplomat has said that payments made by Tehran to the Afghan president’s office are part of Iran’s international obligations towards its eastern neighbor.

After Afghan President Hamid Karzai responded to media reports claiming that his office receives millions of dollars every other month from the Iranian government, Iran’s consul in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad, Mehran Khorasani, said that the payments are nothing new.

„They are not exclusive to the administration of [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad,“ he said, adding, „These financial obligations have been accepted during the previous [Iranian] government and will be maintained by governments to come.“
