According to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan, Meredov said at a ceremony on the occasion that Turkmenistan and Afghanistan are planning to implement major projects, so it is necessary to increase the level of diplomatic relations.
He expressed hope that with the joint diplomatic efforts of the two countries, the practical work of the TAPI gas pipeline, TAPI power transmission and railway between Torghundi and Herat will begin soon.
The Islamic Emirate took control of Afghanistan in August 2021, but no country has recognized it as a government.
But some countries in the region have established closer relations with the Islamic Emirate than others.
In December last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping accepted Asadullah Bilal Karimi’s credentials as Afghanistan’s ambassador to Beijing.
