After Muttaqi, Afghan Trade Minister Azizi Lands in India Amid Pakistan Trade Freeze
Afghanistan’s engagement with India continues to deepen as Trade Minister Nooruddin Azizi arrives in New Delhi—just days after Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi’s visit. The timing is significant: Pakistan’s ongoing trade restrictions have pushed Kabul to diversify its economic corridors and strengthen alternative regional partnerships.
Azizi’s visit signals Afghanistan’s intent to expand commerce, explore new transit options, and stabilize its trade flows through wider cooperation with India. The shifting dynamics highlight how regional geopolitics are reshaping Afghanistan’s economic strategies.

KABUL: Afghanistan’s Taliban government urged India on Thursday to scale up trade and open cargo hubs in its territory, as it strengthens ties with New Delhi and seeks alternatives to Pakistan after repeated border clashes and closures.
During talks, Al-Haj Nooruddin Azizi, the Taliban’s commerce minister, also asked India to help set up scheduled shipping services to move Afghan goods through the Indian-operated Chabahar Port in Iran, his ministry said.
Landlocked Afghanistan has redirected more goods to Iran and Central Asia in recent months after armed clashes shut key crossings with Pakistan.
Azizi met India’s Minister of State for Commerce, Jitin Prasada, in New Delhi and discussed investment, joint ventures and expanding opportunities for Afghan exporters, the Afghan commerce ministry said.

Azizi also suggested India develop dry ports in Afghanistan’s southwestern Nimroz province bordering Iran, and ease cargo processing at Nhava Sheva, India’s largest container port near Mumbai, the ministry added.
Afghan officials told Reuters last week that shipments have been growing faster through Iran and Central Asia than through the Pakistan corridor as repeated border closures disrupt its main transit route.
Azizi sought to speed up the process for Afghan traders getting visas and proposed cooperation in pharmaceuticals, cold storage, fruit processing, industrial parks and SME centres, his ministry said.
India’s Prasada said on X that the talks reflected a shared commitment to strengthening bilateral trade.
Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said he discussed expanding trade and connectivity and reiterated India’s support for Afghanistan’s development.

NEW DELHI: Air cargo services between India and Afghanistan will be launched soon, an Indian foreign ministry official said on Friday, as the two countries seek to reset ties amid soured relations with common neighbour Pakistan.
The announcement came during a visit to New Delhi by Afghanistan’s Taliban Trade Minister Nooruddin Azizi, who has urged India to boost trade and open cargo hubs as Kabul seeks access to grains, medicines and industrial goods following the closure of its border with Pakistan after military clashes.
Kabul’s air freight corridors with Delhi and the northern Indian city of Amritsar have been “activated”, and cargo flights will operate on the sectors “very soon”, said Anand Prakash, a joint secretary in the Indian foreign ministry.
“All formalities from our side are over. We are waiting for all the papers from their (Afghan) side ... Once they complete them, the cargo flights will start,” Prakash told Reuters on the sidelines of an India-Afghanistan business conference.

Which airline will offer these cargo services ? Not Indian, or if they do, it will be via/over Iran and therefore expensive relative to the product in the cargo itself.
