Uzbekistan is ready to open the border with Afghanistan and forge friendly ties with the Taliban authorities if the situation in Afghanistan stabilises, Uzbek Foreign Minister Abdulaziz Komilov said, according to an Uzbek radio report.
While Uzbekistan had softened its stance towards the Taliban this month, Komilov warned that the border would remain shut if Uzbekistan’s domestic affairs were threatened by any forces in Afghanistan.
