Tehran-Kabul Trade Doubles in 3 Years

Trade between Iran and Afghanistan has nearly doubled over the past three years, Afghan Ministry of Commerce and Industries Spokesman Musafer Qoqandi said.

“Official figures put Iran-Afghanistan bilateral trade at close to $2 billion for the fiscal March 2016-17, up from nearly $1 billion in 2013-14,” Qoqandi was quoted as saying by IRNA.

Unofficial statistics, he added, indicate higher figures.
