In a few months, France will set up a specialized center to help process asylum seekers who are at risk from Afghanistan.
The French Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the center will be created to provide support to the consulates that receive the most requests.
The French Foreign Ministry says it receives the majority of asylum applications in Islamabad and Tehran and has increased the number of personnel in these two embassies to process them more quickly.
In accordance with the conditions considered by France for accepting Afghan citizens at risk, journalists are given special priority, as well as women.
Emphasizing freedom of expression, the French Foreign Ministry said in its statement that the country will continue to support all those who strive to provide free, reliable and quality information around the world.
