RUSSIA will continue providing assistance to Afghanistan in strengthening regional security and combatting terrorism and drug trafficking threats, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
“We will continue to provide assistance to Kabul in strengthening regional security and combatting terrorist and drug crime threats. Deepening ties in education, sports, culture, and the humanitarian sector is valuable for fostering the friendship between our peoples,” the statement read.
In addition to that, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko has accepted copies of the protocol from the newly appointed Afghan Ambassador to Russia Gul Hassan.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the formal recognition of the Afghan authorities would give an impetus to the productive cooperation between the two states in various fields.
“We can see significant prospects for trade and economic cooperation, particularly in energy, transportation, agriculture, and infrastructure,” the ministry said.
