DID Press: Abdul Latif Nazari, deputy minister of economy in the Taliban administration, says Afghanistan has the potential to become a major regional transit and connectivity hub linking Central Asia, South Asia, and West Asia.

Speaking to Sputnik, Nazari said Afghanistan’s geographic position and geoeconomic capacity place it at the center of emerging regional economic corridors.

He added that Afghanistan and Russia share common interests across multiple sectors, arguing that cooperation between the two sides extends beyond bilateral relations and carries broader geopolitical significance for the region.
