Deputy Foreign Minister Mehdi Safari said President Mahmud Ahmadinejad had agreed to repatriate Afghans in a "gradual and orderly way."
Safari spoke at a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul a day after Iran said it had expelled 85,000 illegal Afghan residents in the past three weeks.
