TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iran’s Foreign Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif said Friday the rising threats of terrorism, extremism and narcotics across the Middle East are rooted in trans-regional interference.
Addressing the 4th Ministerial Conference of Istanbul Process on Afghanistan in Beijing, Zarif pointed to the escalating threats of extremism and terrorism in the region and called for a global campaign to tackle the issue. He said withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan will eliminate one of the major causes of extremism in the region, as many regional issues have resulted from the interference of certain countries.
