    This is Muttaqi's first visit of its kind to Iran since the Taliban came to power, following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Foreign Minister of the Taliban government, Amir Khan Muttaqi, announced Tuesday that he met in Tehran with Ahmad Masoud, leader of the National Resistance Front opposition movement, and Ismail Khan, a former Afghan Minister.

In a statement reported by the Afghan state television, Muttaqi said that anyone can come to Afghanistan and live without fears.

The statement comes at a time when Muttaqi led a delegation from the Taliban movement to Iran on Saturday and Sunday in his first visit to Tehran.

Muttaqi confirmed that he met with Ismail Khan and Ahmad Masoud and "assured all of them that they can come back to live freely and safely in Afghanistan."
