An exclusive Iranian exhibition was inaugurated in Herat, Afghanistan, on July 20 in the presence of Iranian and Afghan officials.

Iranian companies are showcasing their latest products and services in the fields of food products, plastic industry, porcelain, kitchenware, rubber, medicine, paint, aluminum, petrochemical and steel, IRIB News reported.

Iran was unable to hold exhibitions in Afghanistan in the past three years due to political changes in the neighboring country and the Covid-19 pandemic. This is first time Iran is holding an exclusive exhibition in Afghanistan after the Taliban came to power.

Iran’s trade with Afghanistan reached $400 million during the first quarter of the current Iranian year (started March 21), registering a 5% year-on-year rise, latest data published by the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration show.

Bilateral trade stood at $1.7 billion in the fiscal 2022-23 with Iranian exports standing at $1.65 billion, and imports at $30 million.
