Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Amir Khan Muttaqi has said that not even one meter of Afghanistan’s soil is under the control of opponents of the Islamic Emirate, adding that the islands of power in the country have been eliminated.

Muttaqi said this at an Iran-Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce meeting in Mashhad, Iran.

“Today, after forty-five years, in all of Afghanistan, in one village, in one acre of land, in one meter of land, Alhamdulillah, there are no opponents [in] control. All the islands of power have ended, feudalism has ended, no one can say that I am strong and you are weak. Roads are not closed because of foreigners or local officials. There is no convoy of bodyguards for ministers. Successful and good person is one who serves well,” Muttaqi said.

Referring to the economic opportunities available in the country, Muttaqi urged businessmen to invest in the country without any worries.

He said that the current government has good relations with neighboring countries and the region, and now Afghanistan has become a transit and economic hub.

“The current government of Afghanistan has very good relations with neighboring countries and regional countries. All ports in Afghanistan are open. We do business with all countries in the region. Afghanistan has now become the hub of transit and economy. Now we are the connecting point between South Asia and Central Asia, and efforts are underway to connect the North and the South. Efforts are underway to connect the Wakhan road to China,” Muttaqi said.

He also emphasized that there is no discrimination in Afghanistan and although there is negative propaganda against the Islamic Emirate, the people are satisfied with the situation. He reiterated that they will not allow anyone to undermine the security of Afghanistan and the region.
