Iran PressIran News: In a meeting with Finnish Ambassador to Tehran Kerry Kahiloto, Sadeq Rezadoust criticized Europe's inaction on its international responsibility for refugees in Iran, saying that Iran provides the most services to Afghan refugees.

The Director-General of citizens and foreign immigrants' affairs of the Iranian Interior Ministry said Iran has proven over the past 40 years that it has always been a significant supporter of refugees and displaced people, and despite economic hardship and harsh sanctions, it has provided valuable services to refugees and foreign migrants in areas such as education, health, treatment, livelihood, vocational training, and employment.

He also highlighted that 97% of Afghan refugees and migrants live with the Iranian people, and about 3% of refugees live in dedicated cities because they are vulnerable.

Sadeq Rezadoust underlined that the Islamic Republic of Iran government has always provided services to the Afghan refugee community in all fields without taking into account the limited assistance of international organizations.
