Spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in an interview with AVA:
After the ceasefire between Iran and the Israeli regime, Afghanistan's trade with Iran has returned to normal
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) – Kabul: Abdul Salam Javad Akhundzada, spokesman for the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, stated in an interview with Ava that over the past two years, the largest trade exchanges between Afghanistan and Iran have taken place and this trend is still developing.
After the Israeli regime's aggression against Iran, speculations were raised that as the economic and trade infrastructure of the Islamic Republic of Iran was damaged in the war, the amount of this country's trade with Afghanistan would decrease and the prices of many raw materials dependent on Iranian goods would increase. However, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Trade says that there has been no change in the trade process between Afghanistan and Iran and that the movement of goods is still going on normally between the two countries.
According to Akhundzada, information available from customs, provincial officials of the Ministry of Trade and public reports show that Afghanistan’s trade relations with neighboring countries and the region, especially Iran, remain strong and the process of import, transit and supply of goods in domestic markets continues normally.
He added: “No unusual fluctuations in the prices of basic goods have been recorded across the country and the prices are in accordance with the established indicators. The increase in prices due to the Iran-Israel war is nothing more than a rumor.”
Akhundzada emphasized that reports published by some media outlets contrary to this reality lack official support and merely reflect personal and unreliable analyses.
This is while yesterday, the Herat Chamber of Commerce and Investment announced that after the recent ceasefire between Iran and Israel, oil imports from Iran to Afghanistan have resumed.
The Herat Chamber of Commerce and Investment, in announcing this news, emphasized that trade between the two countries is now returning to normal.
According to officials of the chamber, about 3,000 tons of petroleum products, including 1,500 tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and 1,500 tons of diesel and petrol, enter Afghanistan daily through the Dogharoon and Nimroz border crossings.
