The UAE has signed an agreement with the Taliban administration to regulate and control airports in the country.
According to Bakhtar News Agency, the officials from the two sides, on Tuesday, held a press conference and signed the agreement to share responsibility for operating airports in Afghanistan.
The announcement made on Twitter by Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar came after months of talks by the group with the UAE, Turkey and Qatar seeking to reach an agreement on airport security cooperation.
UAE officials have held a series of discussions with the group in recent weeks to discuss operating the airport that serves as landlocked Afghanistan's main air link to the world, according to Reuters.
