Japan will pay the cost of two development projects in Khewa and Surkhrood districts of Nangarhar province.

“Following to our aids for Afghanistan, we pledged two new projects for horticulture and construction of orphanages and our assistance will continue to Afghanistan,” said ambassador of Japan to Kabul.

Afghan minister of economic has also considered Japan’s aids effective in several parts of the country.

“Japan has been one of the biggest donor countries of Afghanistan since many years ago and its aids are valuable for economic growth,” said Abuidullah Naeemi, head of NGO department of economic ministry.
