Maulvi Abdul Kabir, the Taliban’s Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs, announced that the group’s political and economic relations with neighboring countries, including Tajikistan, are steadily improving. Speaking at an event in Kabul, he emphasized the expansion of regional cooperation and development of mutual ties, as reported by local media.
Kabir pointed to the Sherkhan Bandar border crossing between Afghanistan and Tajikistan, which remains open for business. He highlighted this as a crucial link fostering trade between Afghan and Tajik entrepreneurs and enabling stronger economic collaboration.
“Our political and economic relations with regional countries are expanding and progressing,” Kabir stated, reflecting the Taliban’s efforts to strengthen diplomatic and trade partnerships in the region.
In addition, the Taliban addressed concerns over Afghan migrants, urging countries hosting them to halt forced deportations and calling on Afghan nationals abroad to return home. This appeal aligns with the group’s broader efforts to stabilize the country’s domestic affairs while building connections abroad.
These developments come as the Taliban continues its push for regional engagement despite facing significant international isolation since taking power in August 2021.
