Iranian President Raisi prays during talks with Putin in the Kremlin

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi performed an evening prayer during talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin building. This is reported by the Iranian agency Tasnim.

Raisi interrupted negotiations with Putin for 10 minutes, and after the evening prayer, the parties continued the meeting.

Earlier it was reported that Putin, during a meeting with Raisi, offered to discuss the situation in Afghanistan.

Before that, it became known that Iran wants to create a refugee department because of the situation in Afghanistan due to the massive influx of migrants after the seizure of power by the Taliban (the organization is banned in Russia). According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, more than 500,000 refugees have arrived in Iran since the beginning of 2021.

At the same time, the total number of refugees from Afghanistan in Iran is estimated at 2.2 million illegal immigrants and about 780 thousand people who live in the country on a permanent basis. UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi called for helping Iran cope with the influx of refugees.
