Afghan envoy meets Belarusian ambassador in Ashgabat to discuss bilateral cooperation

Fazl Mohammad Saber, Chargé d’Affaires of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in Turkmenistan, held a diplomatic meeting with Stanislav Chepurnoy, the Ambassador of Belarus to Turkmenistan, to discuss avenues for strengthening political and economic cooperation between the two countries, The Caspian Post informs via ATN News.

According to a statement released by the Afghan Embassy in Ashgabat, the meeting focused on expanding bilateral relations, encouraging investment opportunities in Afghanistan, and promoting the exchange of official delegations.

Both parties emphasized the importance of joint initiatives and sustained collaboration to serve mutual interests.

Fazl Mohammad Saber has previously met with Turkmen government officials and representatives of international organizations, including the United Nations, to advocate for key regional initiatives such as the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline, cross-border railway networks, and expanded trade routes.

Belarus, which has established strong economic ties with Central Asian nations including Turkmenistan, is looking to increase its footprint in the region. The meeting in Ashgabat may pave the way for new commercial partnerships and investment opportunities between Belarus and Afghanistan, particularly in areas such as energy, transport, and industrial development.

As the Islamic Emirate continues its outreach to regional and global partners, it has prioritized infrastructure, connectivity, and trade as cornerstones of its economic diplomacy agenda.
