Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, Prime Minister of the Taliban administration, met with Alexey Overchuk, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, and his accompanying delegation on the evening of Thursday, November 12, at the Gulkhana Palace.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, the Taliban Prime Minister claimed that security and stability in Afghanistan have created favorable opportunities for attracting investment and cooperation between the two countries. He also referred to Russia’s recognition of the Taliban as a sign of the country’s trust in Afghanistan’s future.<\/p>\n
The office of the Taliban Prime Minister stated that Alexey Overchuk expressed admiration for the security, stability, and progress achieved in Afghanistan and announced Russia’s willingness to invest in various sectors. On this visit, about 70 representatives from the Russian private sector accompanied the Deputy Prime Minister to discuss the details and removal of obstacles to trade agreements with Taliban ministries and institutions.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister also met with Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban administration’s Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, and expressed readiness to purchase Afghanistan\u2019s agricultural products and invest in different sectors.<\/p>\n
Although Russia is the only country to have officially recognized the Taliban, Russian officials have voiced concerns about the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan under Taliban rule and emphasized an impartial approach to dealing with these groups.<\/p>\n
These concerns and limited economic engagement indicate that relations between the Taliban administration and Russia continue to face security and political challenges and have not yet reached a broad and comprehensive level of cooperation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
