💨 Abstract

The article discusses a meeting between the Taliban's acting ambassador to Iran and Burkina Faso's ambassador in Tehran. They agreed to enhance cooperation in trade, agriculture, mining, and vocational training. This meeting is part of Burkina Faso's broader effort to secure new trade partners, coinciding with Iran's outreach to Sahel nations. Burkina Faso, along with Mali and Niger, has turned to countries like Russia and Iran for support, distancing itself from Western partners due to internal conflicts and a militant insurgency.
