He said Iran has also kept its borders open and is ready to cooperate with all countries to deliver aid to the Afghan people.

The prime minister of Pakistan also supported the formation of an inclusive government in Afghanistan and stressed the need to help the Afghan people in the current situation given that winter has arrived and Afghans lack fuel and food.
