Afghanistan’s National Security Advisor Hamdullah Mohib called on Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku on Monday, an official statement said.
According to Afghanistan’s Office of the National Security Council, they discussed “bilateral ties, including defense co-production, military cooperation, transit connectivity, and preferential trade.”
“Pres. Aliyev said Azerbaijan would open an embassy in Kabul in 2021,” it said in a tweet.
Mohib also met his Azerbaijani counterpart Ramil Usubov, and separately with Deputy Prime Minister Yaqub Eyyubov.
“The sides agreed to deepen bilateral cooperation in the areas of defense and security, including defense acquisition,” the press release added.

This special report was written before the 2020 United States presidential elections. Under the incoming Biden administration, the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan is likely to be more gradual and “responsible”, despite the President-elect being in favour of American troops exiting the war-weary country soon. In retrospect, Donald Trump’s insistence on pulling out all US troops from Afghanistan by Christmas 2020 was not misguided, since there is little that such military presence can achieve at this stage of the war. The situation is sealed by some neighbouring nations acting as spoilers in the peace process, impeding American efforts to help bring stability to Afghanistan.
