An Iranian MP said that a parliamentary delegation of Iran would visit Afghanistan to pursue the Helmand River’s water rights.

“There have been talks with the foreign minister of our country about the trip of the parliamentary delegation to Afghanistan to follow up on the issue of water rights, and God willing, this trip will take place soon,” MP Mohammad Sargazi told ISNA news agency.
