The two countries have many opportunities to promote ties in different fields, so if Afghanistan intends to develop these ties, Iran would be the best option,” Aminian said on Wednesday at the opening ceremony of "Water, Electricity and Renewable Energy Exhibition" in Afghanistan.

Pointing to the importance of Afghanistan’s market for the Iranian private sector, he added, “Statistics indicate that Afghanistan is importing about $3 million annually, so if the country provides a broader market for Iranian goods, Iranian producers are willing to cooperate with Afghan partners.”

In a relevant report it was announced in August that Iran would increase its cooperation on repairing the electricity grid and upgrading power transmission equipment of Afghanistan, according to a recent memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by the officials of the two neighboring counties in Kabul.
