In a step toward enhancing bilateral relations, Polish Special Representative for Afghanistan, Witold Sobków, met with Afghanistan’s Acting Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, in Kabul this week. The meeting focused on political cooperation, the situation of Afghan refugees in Europe, and opportunities for economic engagement between the two countries.

He commended the recent improvements in security and administrative reforms in the country, considering them encouraging signs for potential investment and long-term collaboration.
