[00:05:02] Islamic system and by the grace of Allah he became the ruler, the desire of
[00:05:06] the people was fulfilled
[00:05:07] by the Muslims.
[00:05:12] In the economic
[00:14:27] sector, new
[00:14:51] Muslims.
[00:15:02] This day is not just a reminder of political change, but also marks
[00:15:05] the beginning of a new path for the economic development
[00:15:09] of the country. New
[00:15:12] doors have been opened in the country's economy,
[00:15:16] and the lives of Afghans have been
[00:15:27] have been taken in the field of economic development of the country, such as water
[00:15:30] management, dams, and other
[00:15:33] large-scale related projects. These are the areas that are not only
[00:15:37] directly related to the daily needs of the people,
[00:15:40] but also have a significant impact on agriculture, industry,
[00:15:44] energy, and general economic growth.
[00:15:46] Effective management of water resources can increase agricultural
[00:15:50] production and create a basis for strengthening
[00:15:54] the country's economic foundations.
[00:15:57] Efforts by the government to implement a number of water and other
[00:16:00] basic projects are underway at a time when
[00:16:04] economic development is not a service issue
[00:16:07] but an important need for the country's economic future.
[00:16:18] it is becoming an important need.
[00:17:04] focused on industry.
[00:17:56] Economic analysts say that when evaluating the government's economic policies,
[00:17:59] one should not focus only on economic indicators,
[00:18:03] but also on basic
[00:18:05] projects.
[00:18:08] They believe that water, energy, infrastructure projects,
[00:18:12] and transport
[00:18:15] projects lay the foundation for the country's economic
[00:18:19] prosperity. If the project
[00:18:22] is completed on time with transparency and quality,
[00:18:26] it will create new opportunities for the
[00:18:29] private sector and investment.
[00:18:32] They emphasize that the Islamic
[00:18:35] Emirate is working hard in this area.
[00:19:01] It was from Afghanistan, meaning it was a day when the Afghan nation truly regained
[00:19:04] its internal independence. We consider
[00:19:09] this day a great, national, and historic day in the history of Afghanistan, and this day
[00:19:12] should be celebrated in a proper
[00:19:15] and grand manner. Also, with the
[00:19:19] return to power of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,
[00:19:22] large economic projects began throughout
[00:19:26] Afghanistan. This means that the work on projects that
[00:19:30] were halted, and projects that had not been started at all
[00:19:33] in Afghanistan for many years, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
[00:19:37] implemented those projects and started them. We witnessed
[00:19:41] that in the road construction sector, very fundamental
[00:19:44] and very organized work was carried out in all 34 provinces
[00:19:48] of Afghanistan, and the work is still ongoing. Overpasses were built throughout
[00:19:51] Afghanistan, especially in the center
[00:19:54] of Kabul, in the center of Afghanistan, meaning Kabul city. Also, the projects
[00:19:58] with general benefits, the large projects that were implemented in Afghanistan,
[00:20:02] we can mention the CASA-1000 project, which is one of the large projects
[00:20:05] that can have a direct impact
[00:20:08] on trade, transit, and Afghanistan's economy.
[00:20:12] There is the TAPI project, which is one of the national projects and one of the large
[00:20:16] projects that can highlight Afghanistan's geo-economic and geo-political
[00:20:20] position to the world, making Afghanistan an economic crossroads,
[00:20:23] meaning connecting Central Asian countries
[00:20:27] to South Asia. With the implementation of
[00:20:30] the TAPI project, we can implement railway lines in Afghanistan,
[00:20:34] bring gas pipelines to Afghanistan, bring
[00:20:38] electricity to Afghanistan, and also bring fiber optics
[00:20:40] to Afghanistan, which can completely transform
[00:20:44] Afghanistan's economy from a local economy
[00:20:48] to a regional and global economy.
[00:21:00] Large economic works have been carried out in Afghanistan, although it is not enough
[00:21:03] for Afghanistan's economy, but to some extent
[00:21:06] it can complement other projects in Afghanistan, because
[00:21:10] Afghanistan is a country that is import-
[00:21:13] dependent, reliant on foreign aid, reliant on
[00:21:17] imports from foreign countries today. The decision
[00:21:20] that Afghanistan should become self-sufficient and Afghanistan should become a producing
[00:21:23] country and Afghanistan should become an exporting country, we praise this, and these are
[00:21:27] the initial steps. Unfortunately, in the past four
[00:21:31] decades, such steps were not taken at all, and no one paid much attention
[00:21:35] to these issues. Afghanistan was only looking
[00:21:38] to foreign aid and imports from
[00:21:42] foreign countries in general. And finally, we can say
[00:21:45] that the implementation of these projects has mutual benefits for both Afghanistan
[00:21:49] and other countries.
[00:22:26] The development of economic and infrastructure projects is closely
[00:22:29] linked to national independence, because a country that
[00:22:32] relies on its own internal
[00:22:36] resources to meet its basic needs
[00:22:40] moves with more stability and independence.
[00:22:43] Project agricultural resources
[00:22:46] management and development can create
[00:22:50] in the progress of life, and through resources, and a basis for strengthening
[00:22:52] the country's independence. So in this regard, it can be said that preserving
[00:22:56] independence is not only about political decisions, but
[00:23:00] also about economic strength, effective use of domestic
[00:23:04] completion
[00:23:05] of infrastructure.
[00:23:09] freedom and independence play an important role
[00:23:14] it, man can carry out his affairs
[00:23:17] with ease.
[00:23:50] It is very necessary for human beings, even the companions, may Allah be pleased
[00:24:06] A Muslim must be free, especially
[00:24:10] Afghans. The Afghan nation
[00:25:20] At the city and provincial levels, the implementation of a number of party services
[00:25:24] projects is important
[00:25:27] for improving people's lives.
[00:25:30] And other basic infrastructure projects are those activities that are
[00:25:34] important for the organized development of cities.
[00:25:37] With the implementation of these projects, not only does the appearance of cities
[00:25:41] change, but also the provision of services for people
[00:25:44] expands, and the quality of urban life
[00:25:47] improves. Important activities
[00:25:50] have been carried out by the relevant
[00:25:54] authorities in this area.
[00:27:12] economic analysts, large-scale projects should not be viewed
[00:27:16] merely as construction work,
[00:27:18] because every project has
[00:27:22] an economic impact. The construction of roads and urban infrastructure
[00:27:25] facilitates trade and transportation,
[00:27:29] creates job opportunities, and strengthens the economy of
[00:27:35] the regions. If the selection, implementation, and monitoring of projects
[00:27:38] are strengthened, then limited economic resources
[00:27:41] will be
[00:27:49] the Islamic Emirate
[00:28:04] strategy that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has adopted,
[00:28:08] it is that they want to make Afghanistan self-sufficient,
[00:28:11] which is a very important and vital issue.
[00:28:15] The fact that we severed economic ties with Pakistan
[00:28:18] means that we have placed more focus on
[00:28:22] domestic products. The next step is that they want to create
[00:28:26] diverse routes for the import of some goods into Afghanistan. Previously,
[00:28:29] we only had one project, one agreement
[00:28:48] with the country. But today, when we have been able to create large projects, and through
[00:28:52] these projects, we can create regional
[00:28:55] and global markets with various countries
[00:28:58] today, this itself is commendable, and it
[00:29:02] can generally highlight Afghanistan's role in the world, especially in the countries of the region.
[00:29:06] Also, the fact that Afghanistan is considering
[00:29:10] alternative trade routes today with Tajikistan,
[00:29:13] Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China, and Russia,
[00:29:16] we have trade agreements, especially with Iran,
[00:29:20] which all indicate that the Emirate wants to diversify economic
[00:29:24] markets. The more diverse markets we have, and
[00:29:27] the more we get rid of being dependent on one country,
[00:29:30] this itself can help the economy.
[00:30:13] In the past five years, the government has focused on the implementation
[00:30:16] of economic and basic projects,
[00:30:19] the development of water and urban infrastructure,
[00:30:22] and the provision of public services are considered important parts
[00:30:26] of the country's development.
[00:30:29] According to economic analysts, the completion
[00:30:32] of projects can create
[00:30:35] more opportunities for economic growth
[00:30:38] and employment. At the same time,
[00:30:41] the general public also demands the implementation of projects
[00:30:45] that are directly related to their daily lives.
[00:30:48] Now, the basic need for the coming
[00:30:51] years is to complete the old projects and
[00:30:54] new projects according to the needs of the people.
