KABUL, Afghanistan — A Russian delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk arrived in Kabul Thursday for trade and investment talks with the Taliban government, Afghan officials said.
Russia officially recognized the Taliban government in July 2025. It remains the only country to have done so since the former insurgent group seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021 in the wake of the withdrawal of U.S.-led troops from the country.
Largely isolated from the international community and with a struggling economy, Kabul has been keen to increase foreign investment and open new trade avenues.
