The relations of the Afghan caretaker government with regional countries are on the track of strengthening, state media quoted Acting Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi as saying.
According to the state-run news agency Bakhtar on Tuesday, Muttaqi said at a meeting of a government accountability program that 70,000 foreign tourists, including 10,000 Europeans, traveled to different parts of Afghanistan last year.
He said that the government has kept border routes with neighboring countries open so that Afghan products can be exported overseas, the press agency reported.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also working on a plan to solve the problem of Afghan refugees through a joint committee with regional countries, Bakhtar said.
