On Oct. 7 Uzbekistan’s Foreign Minister Abdulaziz Kamilov led a delegation to Kabul, the Afghan capital, for discussions. On the agenda were energy, trade and transport projects for which Tashkent is eager to maintain momentum despite the challenges of pursuing them in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. The two sides also discussed humanitarian cooperation.
