A high-level delegation from Tajikistan — including officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, security institutions and other key departments — arrived in Kabul today (Saturday), a well-placed source told Pajhwok Afghan News.
The source said the main purpose of the visit is to strengthen and expand political, economic and security relations between the Republic of Tajikistan and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA). According to the source, Tajikistan had lagged behind other Central Asian countries over the past four years in directly engaging with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and now appears to be seeking to establish a foundation for direct political relations and economic cooperation between the two countries.
The source was quoted as saying: “Tajikistan, which over the past four years had fallen behind other Central Asian countries in directly engaging with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, now appears to be seeking to establish a foundation for direct political relations and economic cooperation between the two countries. This step is considered a significant development by Tajikistan toward fostering better relations with the Islamic Emirate.”
In addition to broader discussions on bilateral relations, the source said the delegation will hold talks on issues related to the Afghan embassy in Dushanbe and on other matters. No named officials, schedules, or additional documentation were cited in the account provided to Pajhwok Afghan News.
