Afghanistan’s Minister of Industry and Commerce, Nuruddin Azizi, met with Turkish envoy, Ambassador Cenk Ünal in Kabul on Sunday 5th October to discuss matters of mutual economic importance.
At the meeting, both sides discussed expanding bilateral trade, facilitating transit, and attracting foreign investment in Afghanistan.

Additionally, Cenk invited Minister Azizi to the upcoming Halal Expo 2025, which will take place from 27th to 30th November 2025 also in Istanbul.
These developments follow Afghanistan’s recent participation in the 17th Summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), held in Khankendi, Azerbaijan, earlier this year.
The summit was attended by Afghanistan’s Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who expressed interest in establishing strategic relationships with other ECO member states and deepening economic cooperation.
During bilateral meetings with Azerbaijan, Kabul and Baku discussed cooperation in areas such as trade, transit, and diplomacy.
These developments come as Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi held a telephone conversation with Turkmenistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Rashid Muradov.

Both ministers expressed satisfaction with the current state of bilateral ties, characterising it as “positive.”
They reiterated their commitment to enhancing practical cooperation across various sectors, indicating a shared vision for future collaboration.
