Officials and business representatives from Afghanistan and Iran have called for deeper economic cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.

At a trade conference in Kabul, participants discussed opportunities to expand trade, investment, agriculture and cooperation between the private sectors.

Iran's agriculture minister expressed an ambition to increase bilateral trade between Afghanistan and Iran to $10 billion in the future.

The figure represents a future target rather than the current volume of trade.

Afghanistan is seeking to expand commerce and overland connectivity with regional countries, while stronger business links with Iran could help Afghan traders gain access to new markets and transit routes.
