But the type of relationship that exists between us and our Afghan brothers and sisters is different and deep; we share a common culture, religion, and even language, and this relationship is like a family relationship."
Stating that the enemies are trying to disrupt this solidarity by creating distance and division, Imanipour added: "One day Iranophobia is raised in Afghanistan and the next day Afghanistanophobia is raised in Iran.

In the end, the head of the Islamic Culture and Communications Organization thanked all the participants, the servants of the Quranic Diplomacy Foundation and the Quranic masters who held this ceremony, and honored the memory of the victims of the earthquake and the martyrs of the sacred defense.
