Russia and Afghanistan signed an agreement on military-technical cooperation during the International Security Forum in the Moscow region as Moscow continues to expand ties with the Taliban-led authorities in Kabul, reports Anadolu.<\/p>\n

The agreement was signed on Wednesday evening by the secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, and Afghan Defense Minister Mohammad Yaqoob.<\/p>\n

“Interaction with Russia is important for us. Afghanistan and Russia have long historical relations and we want to continue to move in this direction,” said Yaqoob.<\/p>\n

Western countries should unlock Afghan assets and take responsibility for the reconstruction of the country after two decades of military presence.<\/p>\n

“We are convinced that Western countries should unlock Afghan assets, fully recognize their responsibility for their 20-year presence in Afghanistan and bear the burden of rebuilding the country after the conflict,” he said.<\/p>\n

The agreement comes amid growing contacts between Moscow and Taliban authorities.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, speaking at a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s Security Council secretaries in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Shoigu said Russia had established dialogue with the Taliban and was developing a “partnership of complete” with the group.<\/p>\n
