Irans Student Affairs Organization (SFO) is trying to facilitate exit and entry for foreign students in collaboration with the passport police, the head of the organization said.
Speaking in a meeting with elite Afghan students on Sunday, Hashem Dadashpour said that Iran is a part of a broader cultural region which is the source of cultural commonalities with neighbor countries, especially the Persian-speaking countries.
He highlighted Afghanistan among Persian-speaking countries, noting that a considerable number of Afghan students study in state and non-state Iranian universities.
The official said that this is an indication of Irans attaching importance to foreign students from neighboring countries.
SFO has made efforts to facilitate exit/entry and residence issues of foreign students in collaboration with Immigration & Passport Police Office of Iran.
