Gul Hassan, the Taliban’s ambassador in Moscow, said Iran’s Chabahar port is becoming a key route for Afghanistan’s foreign trade, with daily commercial flows through the port increasing.
Speaking at the Third International North–South Transport Corridor Forum in Russia, he said the Taliban is “working actively” with Iran and India on the Chabahar route.
He added that the Taliban’s commerce minister discussed Chabahar during a recent meeting with Iranian officials.
The Taliban envoy in Moscow said the group wants to shift trade routes that previously passed through other countries toward Chabahar.
After border clashes between Taliban forces and Pakistan, Islamabad closed the Torkham and Chaman crossings last month.
The closure of the crossings and the suspension of trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan prompted the Taliban to expand commercial engagement with other neighbouring countries.
