Raisi touched on the immigration crisis in Europe, particularly the immigration of the Afghan people, and said: "Two decades of NATO and US presence in Afghanistan brought murder, crime, bloodshed, and helplessness for the Afghan people, and more than 30,000 Afghan children have been disabled as a result of the American presence in Afghanistan."
Elsewhere, he highlighted Iran's endeavor in the fight against terrorism, drug trafficking, and organized crimes and considered the cooperation of the two countries in this regard beneficial, both regionally and internationally.
He said the Islamic Republic combatted terrorism in practice while some countries did so just on paper.
