A technical delegation from Afghanistan has arrived in Iran to discuss enhanced transit cooperation and ways to promote Afghan exports, according to the Afghan Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
The delegation, composed of representatives from key ministries, including the Economic Deputy Prime Minister's Office, Transport and Aviation, Foreign Affairs, and Finance, will be assessing the capabilities and facilities of the Chabahar Free Trade Zone in Iran. This visit is part of ongoing efforts to improve export opportunities and streamline transit routes for Afghan goods.
Additionally, the delegation aims to discuss the implementation of agreements made during a recent visit by the Afghan Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, with Iranian authorities. The specific details of these agreements were not mentioned in the statement.
This visit signifies the continued efforts of the Afghan government to explore economic partnerships and promote trade, particularly through the strategic location of the Chabahar Free Zone, which offers greater access to regional and international markets. (ILKHA)
