A four-member Taliban delegation met with Iran’s foreign ministry officials during visit to the country on Monday, the group said.
The delegation was led by Abdul Salam Hanafi, deputy head of Taliban’s political office in Qatar, said Suhail Shaheen, a spokesman for the group.
The sides talked latest developments, progress and safety of Iran’s projects in Afghanistan and ways to sustainable peace, Shaheen said on Twitter.
He said that the Taliban appreciates neighboring countries’ “positive role” in peace process.
Taliban’s visit to Iran comes after US President Donald Trump called off peace talks with the Taliban, citing a deadly attack in Kabul.
The attack and the cancellation of talks came after US negotiator Zalmay Khalilzad and the Taliban finalized a draft agreement following months of talks in Qatar.
Earlier, a three-member Taliban delegation led by Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai visited Moscow and met with Russia’s presidential envoy Zamir Kabulov.
Shaheen said that the Russian endorsed Taliban’s stance and backed withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan according to the agreement.
