President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev met with Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Acting Deputy Prime Minister of Afghanistan for Economic Affairs, on the sidelines of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) Summit in Khankendi, Azerbaijan.
The parties discussed opportunities for strengthening cooperation in trade and economic spheres, transport, logistics, and energy. They highlighted the steady growth in trade turnover and the rising number of joint ventures.
Uzbekistan President's Press Office stated that business ties between the two countries have intensified. In May, Uzbekistan opened trade houses in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif, and in June, a Preferential Trade Agreement was signed to further boost bilateral trade.
President Mirziyoyev emphasized the importance of expanding cross-border trade and developing the necessary infrastructure, while also promoting joint projects in mining, textiles, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, and agricultural processing.
The two sides also underscored the strategic importance of accelerating the implementation of the Trans-Afghan Railway project, a vital regional initiative.
