“We have not only liberated our country, but also our neighbors and the countries of the region from the evils of terrorism,” Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, the deputy minister of Foreign Affairs, said at the inauguration of Afghan Invest.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Deputy Minister for Economic Affairs, called on Afghan citizens abroad to invest in their country.

“Our country is very rich in terms of mineral reserves. Afghan citizens who have capital abroad should relocate it to their home country, we support them. Trade is vital for a country,” Baradar said.

Afghan Invest is a limited liability company created in four major sectors (Mining, Energy, Construction and Agriculture) with an initial investment of $250 million. (ILKHA)
