Other key topics include the development of non-geostationary satellite systems, strategies to combat telecom-related fraud, and the expansion of RCC Plus cooperation.
Before his departure, Haqqani met with Uzbek Ambassador Oybek Usmanov in Kabul, where the two officials discussed potential ICT partnerships and other areas of mutual interest.
Meanwhile, Deputy Foreign Minister Dr. Mohammad Naeem participated in the “Peace, Friendship and Prosperity” summit in Termez, where he emphasized Afghanistan’s commitment to regional stability and economic integration.
