Mullah Baradar urges Afghan investors in Turkey to help rebuild the country

Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar said at a conference organized by Afghan investors living in Turkey, that they should return home and help rebuild the country. 

He said the development would help the country emerge from its dependence on the international community.

According to a statement issued by his office on Saturday, Baradar said during his speech at the conference that over the past 20 years, the lives and property of Afghans, especially traders and investors, had not been safe, however, since the Islamic Emirate’s takeover, security has been restored across the country and investors can now work in a safe environment.

He added that with the establishment of a single central system in Afghanistan, there are investment opportunities not only for Afghans but also for foreigners, the best example of which is the participation of European and Asian investors in Herat iron ore mining.

He pointed out that the representatives of investors attend the meetings of the Economic Commission, and in order to speed up business affairs in government offices and prevent bureaucracy, a committee consisting of representatives of all ministries and departments has been established.

Baradar said that Afghanistan is a common home of all Afghans irrespective of their ethnicity and language, and that everyone has a responsibility to rebuild it.

He asked the investors to take part in the development of the country so that the people can be saved from the crisis and dependence on foreigners.
