Afghanistan, Malaysia hold talks to boost bilateral cooperation, humanitarian support

Malaysia and Afghanistan have pledged to expand cooperation in politics, trade, and humanitarian assistance following talks between senior officials in Kuala Lumpur.

Naqeebullah Ahmadi, Chargé d’Affaires of the Afghan Embassy in Malaysia, met with Foreign Minister Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Mohamad bin Haji Hasan this weekend to discuss political, economic, and trade cooperation.

The talks also highlighted Malaysia’s recent humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan following deadly earthquakes in Kunar province.

Ahmadi described Malaysia as a “friendly and brotherly country,” thanking the government for its support, which has included financial aid, the deployment of medical and pharmaceutical teams, and condolence messages from senior Malaysian leaders.

Malaysia’s Foreign Minister Mohamad expressed sympathy for the Afghan people and stressed that Malaysia’s humanitarian aid would continue to be delivered in an organized and reliable manner.

The meeting is part of Kabul’s broader diplomatic outreach in the region.

In recent months, the Afghan Embassy in Malaysia has expanded efforts to support Afghan migrants, students, and businesspeople, while encouraging closer economic and cultural exchanges between the two nations.
