KABUL (BNA) – In a significant engagement with Russian and Afghan business leaders, Mullah Abdul Ghani Akhundzada, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, highlighted Afghanistan’s substantial natural resource wealth, positioning it as a compelling investment destination amidst broader economic hurdles.
Speaking at the meeting, Deputy PM Akhundzada emphasized, “Afghanistan, despite its economic struggles, is endowed with abundant natural resources and presents promising opportunities for investment.”
He reassured the gathered businessmen of the Islamic Emirate’s unwavering support, encouraging them to pursue their business interests in a “calm and stable environment” following a thorough market evaluation.
The meeting took place as Russian investors showed strong interest in expanding their investments, particularly within Afghanistan’s industrial sector. This development comes as Russia seeks to strengthen its economic relations with the Islamic Emirate in Kabul, following the 2021 withdrawal of Western forces.
