Both parties emphasized the importance of joint initiatives and sustained collaboration to serve mutual interests.
Fazl Mohammad Saber, Chargé d’Affaires of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in Turkmenistan, held a diplomatic meeting with Stanislav Chepurnoy, the Ambassador of Belarus to Turkmenistan, to discuss avenues for strengthening political and economic cooperation between the two countries.
According to a statement released by the Afghan Embassy in Ashgabat, the meeting focused on expanding bilateral relations, encouraging investment opportunities in Afghanistan, and promoting the exchange of official delegations.
Both parties emphasized the importance of joint initiatives and sustained collaboration to serve mutual interests.
The talks come as part of the Islamic Emirate’s broader foreign policy approach aimed at enhancing diplomatic engagement and attracting international investment to support Afghanistan’s economic recovery and infrastructure development.
Fazl Mohammad Saber has previously met with Turkmen government officials and representatives of international organizations, including the United Nations, to advocate for key regional initiatives such as the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline, cross-border railway networks, and expanded trade routes.
Belarus, which has established strong economic ties with Central Asian nations including Turkmenistan, is looking to increase its footprint in the region. The meeting in Ashgabat may pave the way for new commercial partnerships and investment opportunities between Belarus and Afghanistan, particularly in areas such as energy, transport, and industrial development.
As the Islamic Emirate continues its outreach to regional and global partners, it has prioritized infrastructure, connectivity, and trade as cornerstones of its economic diplomacy agenda.

IEA defense ministry accuses Pakistan of ceasefire violations
Afghanistan’s Chief of Armed Forces, Fasihuddin Fitrat, said in his Eid message that Pakistan’s military regime has violated the ceasefire along the Durand line.
According to the Eid message released by the Ministry of Defense, several civilians were killed in attacks carried out by Pakistani forces in border areas.
Fitrat added that the continuation of Pakistan’s attacks despite the ceasefire “demonstrates a lack of commitment and deception” on the part of the country.
He stressed that the Islamic Emirate has refrained from retaliatory action in order to prevent further deterioration of the situation and has remained committed to the ceasefire.
However, he warned that if such attacks are repeated, “the ceasefire will become meaningless,” and the Islamic Emirate will deliver a “decisive response” to Pakistan’s actions.
It is worth noting that the Islamic Emirate and Pakistan reached a temporary ceasefire on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr through mediation by Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
