Uzbekistan has delivered humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. The aid package includes food and medicines, with nine wagons of “Salomatlik” (Health) medical and sanitary products en route to the country. From December 25 to 30, residents of Afghanistan’s Balkh region will receive free medical examinations conducted by qualified Uzbek doctors.
This humanitarian initiative follows a request for medical assistance made during a meeting between the governments of Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.
To further strengthen bilateral ties, Uzbekistan’s Ambassador to Afghanistan, Abibek Usmanov, met with Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi, Afghanistan’s Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs, in Kabul on December 24.
During the meeting, Usmanov underscored the importance of enhancing cooperation between the two countries across various sectors. He highlighted Uzbekistan’s willingness to deepen economic and trade relations, emphasizing the interest of Uzbek businesses in projects such as establishing health centers, exporting medicines, constructing cement plants, and engaging in coal trade.
