The Wakhan Team

Zahir Khan
Owner
With a decade of invaluable interpreting experience in both combat and non-combat settings in Afghanistan alongside the US Military, I have dedicated myself to understanding and cooperation between nations.
My journey as an interpreter began in my home of Afghanistan, where I played a pivotal role in translating between diverse parties, ranging from governors and congressmen to advisors and other government officials. In the heart of a combat zone, I navigated the nuances of language and culture with precision, ensuring that critical exchanges were accurately conveyed and misunderstandings were avoided.
Beyond the battlefield, my expertise extends into the intricate realms of politics and government. I've stood at the intersection of diplomacy and discourse, providing vital linguistic support during high-stakes negotiations and strategic engagements. My ability to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps has earned me the trust and respect of both Afghan and American counterparts alike.
Throughout my career, I have witnessed firsthand the power of effective communication in forging lasting relationships and advancing mutual goals. Whether in the heat of conflict or the halls of governance, I remain steadfast in my commitment to facilitating dialogue, fostering understanding, and building bridges that transcend borders.
