TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iran's ambassador to Afghanistan on Monday said Tehran has promised to contribute another USD 50 million to the war-torn country for reconstruction.

Fada Hossein Maleki reiterated Iran's initial 50-million-dollar contribution, saying another USD 50 million will be donated to ""renovate Afghan road transportation links.""
Maleki referred to the $300 million in aid for private entrepreneurs as ""the most important initiative,"" conceived by the Islamic Republic of Iran at the Paris conference.
""Such funds play critical role in reinforcing Afghanistan infrastructures,"" said the diplomat.
He also expressed hope that bilateral commissions give more weigh to private companies.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai was promised more than $20 billion dollar at the Paris conference last week.
