Afghanistan's coal exports to foreign countries reached nearly two billion dollars in 2023, with Pakistan, India, China, United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan being the primary importers, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said. Despite challenges in trade with neighboring countries and a decrease in coal exports, Afghanistan has seen an overall increase in export levels. The Ministry of Industry and Trade highlighted the country's expanding commercial relations with 60 countries, particularly emphasizing its significant trade ties with China, Pakistan, and India.
