1st Day Kabul Conference

Dear distinguished guests, esteemed government officials and cabinet members, honoured foreign delegates attending this conference, and dedicated employees from all ministries, my esteemed colleagues, I extend a heartfelt welcome to each one of you.

Above all, I wish to convey my deepest appreciation to the IBN-E-SINA organization and its meticulous organizers for graciously hosting today’s conference. I earnestly hope for the sustained commitment of IBNESINA to the continual development and progress of Afghanistan.

In my capacity as a government official, I can affirm that every Afghan seeking to openly contribute to the country’s development now has unprecedented opportunities. Having endured half a century of relentless war, which has inflicted considerable losses upon Afghanistan, we stand at the threshold of a new beginning.

The government endeavours to grant all Afghans, whether residing within or outside the country, the chance to actively participate in diverse sectors of our nation’s development.

The initial stride in this direction is the recently granted general amnesty, particularly for those who may have transgressed over the past five decades. This signals the commencement of a fresh chapter in our nation’s history and should serve as a catalyst for us to collaboratively work towards the peaceful development of our beloved country. All preceding conflicts, be they of ethnic, linguistic, or religious nature, should now belong to the annals of the past.

Every citizen of our nation, irrespective of gender, holds the right to actively shape the politics, economy, education, and upbringing of our homeland. It is noteworthy that everyone, whether female or male, possesses the right to education. We firmly believe that without education, no country can progress, and education stands as the bedrock of advancement and development. In the aftermath of years of war, it is imperative that the gates of education swing open for all, enabling our scholars, scientists, and professionals to collectively contribute to the nation-building endeavour.

Despite facing financial constraints, we ardently strive to actualize ambitious plans such as the Qosh tepa Canal project in northern Afghanistan. We extend an invitation to both domestic and foreign investors, whether Afghan or non-Afghan, to invest in Afghanistan, fostering economic strength and mitigating unemployment. Afghanistan possesses a wealth of natural resources that can be harnessed for goods production, offering a promising avenue

For investment. Rest assured, we are committed to supporting investors wherever possible.

In the spirit of IBNESINA’s proactive stance and exemplary initiatives, let us unite in addressing the challenges of our nation hand in hand. In conclusion, I reiterate my call to all Afghans, both within and beyond Afghanistan, to return to their homeland. Nowhere else will you experience the sense of safety and security that your homeland provides, resolving the challenges of our country is not solely the government’s duty but also the collective responsibility of all members of our nation to actively participate in overcoming these challenges.

Once again, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our foreign guests, the organizers of IBNESINA, my esteemed

Female guests, and all other attendees for their active participation.

May Afghanistan prosper in freedom and peace!
