Uzbek PM visits Afghanistan in highest-level visit since Taliban seized power

They are also to inaugurate an exhibition of Uzbek products, the statement said.

Earlier in the week, an Uzbek delegation held meetings with officials from the Ministry of Commerce. On Friday, Afghan media reported that a trilateral meeting among the economy ministers of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan was held in Kabul to discuss ways to enhance trade ties.

Uzbekistan and Afghanistan share a 144-kilometer (89-mile) border, and relations between the two countries have improved in recent months.

The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021 as US and Nato troops were withdrawing from the country after 20 years of war. The world has so far not recognised the Taliban as Afghanistan’s government. The international community has been wary of the Taliban’s harsh measures, imposed since their takeover, especially in restricting the rights of women and minorities.
