The Taliban government’s Ministry of Interior announced in a statement that Haqqani emphasized the continuation of cooperation between Kabul and Moscow, the development of bilateral relations and the establishment of more security cooperation.

Russian media quoted this diplomat and reported that Moscow’s relations with the Taliban government are expanding.
Bolikov also emphasized that Russia wants to expand relations with the Taliban in order to develop trade and economy.
