Sayed Karim Hashimi, the head of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI), held talks with representatives from the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan, to discuss the expansion of economic cooperation.

The discussions centered on several key areas, including the growth of trade, the improvement of transit corridors, and the attraction of new investments. Both sides emphasized the importance of regional economic cooperation to foster growth for the private sectors involved.

In a related effort to streamline business operations, the Afghan Minister of Industry and Commerce has requested the establishment of a coordination office in Termez, Uzbekistan.
