Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif met with former Afghan President Hamid Karzai on November 24 to discuss the situation in Afghanistan on the sidelines of the 32th international conference of Islamic unity. 

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has always supported peace talks in Afghanistan and will use all of its capacities to help the Afghan government in this respect," Zarif said.

During his speech at the conference, Karzai noted that Iran’s experience shows that the path of progress can be taken through independence.
