KABUL, 21 January 2022, (TON): The Islamic Emirate said “it reached agreements with relevant stakeholders in four areas during Economic Summit hosted by Kabul.”

The Ministry of Finance said that the resumption of unfinished development projects, the removal of restrictions on the banking system, support for the private sector and persuading Chinese traders to invest in Afghanistan were the four key factors discussed at the meeting. 

said Ahmad Wali Haqmal, a spokesman for the ministry “all sides including nationals and foreigners called for the removal of restrictions on the banking system. These restrictions, and the freeze of Afghan assets, harms Afghanistan.” 

The First Deputy of the Prime Minister, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, emphasized the importance of economic self-sufficiency and the implementation of agriculture and development projects. 

He said “I call on all, especially the international community, to fulfill its responsibilities regarding Afghanistan. Take an action toward the Afghan nation that will solve its permanent problems so the Afghans can take steps forward.” 

The economic summit was attended by eight international organizations and representatives of 20 countries. The envoys of 40 other countries participated via Zoom.
