Iran’s Embassy in Kabul Calls for Increased Afghan Exports to Iran
The acting head of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Kabul has expressed Tehran’s interest in boosting the share of Afghan goods exported to the Iranian market. Alireza Beykdelī raised this issue during a meeting with the president and members of the Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture of Zanjan Province.
According to the embassy’s newsletter in Kabul, Mr. Beykdelī emphasized expanding economic cooperation between the two countries at this meeting and stated that there are significant capacities to develop trade exchanges.
He also invited the Iranian private sector to expand their activities in Afghanistan in the year 1405 (Persian calendar), adopting an approach that strengthens economic interactions. According to him, a more active presence of the private sector can pave the way for increased exports and deepen trade relations between Kabul and Tehran.
Iran is considered one of Afghanistan’s important trade partners, and over recent years, the two countries have had extensive economic relations in various sectors. However, no further details about concrete plans to increase Afghan exports to Iran have been provided.
