Afghan Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund discussed the development of the Lapis Lazuli Transport Corridor at a meeting with Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov on July 2, according to the page of the deputy prime minister on X, SİA informs.
It notes that the head of the Azerbaijani government expressed readiness to increase the volume of exports and imports with Afghanistan.
The Lapis Lazuli Corridor is considered the most promising alternative route for Afghanistan's foreign trade. The countries located along this route represent capacious markets for key Afghan goods - primarily dried fruits, medicinal herbs, and minerals.
The Lapis Lazuli Corridor is a trade and transportation route that starts at the ports of Athens and Turghundi in the Afghan provinces of Faryab and Herat, reaches the port of Turkmenbashi in Turkmenistan, crosses the Caspian Sea to Baku in Azerbaijan, passes through Tbilisi and Georgia and continues to Türkiye, eventually connecting to Europe.
In turn, the Alemarah information portal reports that a delegation from Afghanistan arrived in Azerbaijan to participate in the 17th summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO).
