Afghanistan is intensifying the export of its products through the Lapis Lazuli corridor passing through Turkmenistan.

According to the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation of Afghanistan, eight cargo shipments were sent for export through the Torghundi dry port on the Turkmen-Afghan border. "Ariana News" reported this on Sunday.

The shipments include dried fruits, jam, pressure cookers, and energy drinks. After the goods reach Turkey, they are planned to be re-exported to the markets of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the USA, Australia, and the Netherlands.

The Lapis Lazuli corridor, launched in 2018, connects Afghanistan to European markets via Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey.
