KUNDUZ, Afghanistan, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- Afghan traders have increased export and import via the Shir Khan dry port with Central Asian states as security improves in Afghanistan, head of the dry port Mawlawi Sahar said Monday.

"Exports via Shir Khan dry port have increased 90 percent, and import has risen 60 percent over the past three months," Sahar said, adding that 16 oil tankers crossed the border point to the country on Sunday.

Shir Khan dry port, which connects Afghanistan to Tajikistan, had been damaged due to years of war. It has been reactivated with the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan in mid-August, with trade rising over the past months, port officials said. Enditem
