In an exclusive interview with IRNA, he said that UNHCR with cooperation with Iran is now focused on a regional plan with contribution of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the UNHCR to prepare grounds for their voluntary return.
UNHCR is to spare no efforts to help refugees administrate their own affairs, such as earning money, health, sanitation and education, he said.
Referring to high number of refugees in Yemen, Syria and Iraq, he said UNHCR is in dire shortage of financial resources which is regarded as a big hurdle in rendering timely services to needy refugees.
Iranian government and its people have generously hosted huge number of refugees for a long time, he said.
