The Taliban foreign ministry confirmed that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk is scheduled to arrive in Kabul on an official visit.
Taliban-controlled state media reported that the high-level trip aims to enhance economic ties and evaluate avenues for bilateral cooperation between Moscow and Kabul.
According to Hafiz Zia Ahmad Takal, deputy spokesman for the Taliban foreign ministry, discussions will center on expanding trade relations, exploring investment opportunities, and reviewing joint economic projects.
The upcoming visit follows a Kabul trip by Zamir Kabulov, the Russian presidential envoy for Afghanistan, who met with the Taliban's acting foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi.
During their meetings, both sides discussed bilateral trade growth, counter-narcotics efforts within Afghanistan, and regional security developments.
Russian authorities have maintained continuous diplomatic dialogue with the Taliban over recent years, focusing on expanding practical economic, humanitarian, and political ties.
