[00:01:06] it [00:01:15] involved officials and [00:01:18] assistance from [00:01:21] provinces of the country. [00:02:56] The Islamic Emirate of [00:03:47] the country does not allow any individual to use [00:03:51] Afghanistan's territory against other [00:03:54] countries. [00:04:12] The fifth anniversary of the re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan [00:04:16] is being celebrated. On this occasion, a magnificent ceremony was held in the Loya Jirga [00:04:19] hall, where Islamic [00:04:21] authorities [00:04:40] have established mutual relations with the Islamic Emirate. [00:04:44] Afghans have never [00:04:46] succumbed to force throughout history, [00:04:50] but rather preferred [00:04:53] a reasonable solution while maintaining [00:04:56] their values. The Islamic Emirate seeks mutual [00:05:00] relations [00:05:00] with neighboring countries, the region, and [00:05:04] all countries of the world, and positive [00:05:08] interactions and political [00:05:10] engagement in the light of the country's [00:05:33] interests. The Islamic Emirate has established regional and international [00:05:36] relations. [00:05:38] They want Afghanistan not to be used against other countries. [00:08:16] Defense Minister Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, in his message [00:08:19] on the occasion of Assad, said that no internal [00:08:22] or external force would be allowed [00:08:26] to undermine Afghanistan's security, and he stated that [00:08:28] Afghanistan's security is [00:08:30] in [00:08:33] the country. In a short time, [00:08:36] the Presidency of Islamic [00:08:39] witnessed thousands of [00:09:00] sacrifices. Thousands of Afghan families have made sacrifices [00:09:04] in this regard, [00:09:05] which [00:09:10] led to their [00:09:22] freedom from occupation. This [00:09:25] is why protecting [00:09:28] the Islamic system is more [00:09:32] important than fighting [00:09:35] for its establishment. At the same time, Defense Minister Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid said on this [00:09:39] occasion that on the 30th of Assad, [00:10:22] he addressed all Afghan people. [00:11:00] The Islamic system was reinstated for the second time, which marks that day. [00:12:19] This is the re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate, [00:12:20] which [00:12:24] is [00:13:55] a situation today where we see all people from different ethnic groups [00:13:59] as Tajiks, Hazaras, Pashtuns, from [00:14:02] different ethnic groups, with different languages. Praise be to Allah, we see [00:14:06] that people, with great unity, harmony, and [00:14:09] love, come to this hill and celebrate this [00:14:13] day of freedom. Praise be to Allah, [00:14:16] it is very good. May Allah Almighty grant us a great blessing. [00:14:19] We should try to express our gratitude. [00:14:23] In [00:14:57] the history of the country, against [00:14:59] falsehood, [00:15:07] in Afghanistan, Kabul, madrassas and students [00:15:09] celebrate [00:15:11] the fifth anniversary [00:15:15] of the victory. [00:15:18] The [00:15:24] Islamic system is one [00:15:46] of the country's non-governmental forces [00:15:49] that fight against [00:15:52] disbelief. [00:15:58] May they protect freedom, and the people want [00:16:01] to avoid negative propaganda [00:16:05] and rumors. [00:17:03] The country has an Islamic system where all rights [00:17:06] are protected. [00:17:13] After 24 years of rule and the conquest of Afghanistan and the victory of the Mujahideen, [00:17:17] Islamic Sharia prevails in this [00:17:20] country. When Islamic Sharia and the Quran [00:17:24] govern a country, the rights of all people [00:17:27] of Afghanistan and the rights [00:17:30] of all citizens of this country are protected [00:17:33] under the Islamic system and Islamic Sharia. [00:17:40] All Afghans celebrated the day of victory, for which they endured [00:17:44] various hardships [00:17:47] in the past twenty years, sacrificing [00:17:51] their lives and property to defeat America, and the Islamic Emirate [00:17:54] was established [00:17:56] in Afghanistan. The [00:18:00] special forces [00:18:04] of the Defense Ministry [00:18:13] patrol the country during [00:18:14] the year. [00:18:19] On the occasion of the country's [00:18:21] day of victory, they carried out [00:18:25] their duties. [00:18:34] In various [00:18:37] parts of Kabul city, during [00:18:40] patrols by the special forces of the Ministry of Defense [00:18:43] and Interior Affairs and the General Directorate of Intelligence, [00:18:47] the annual anniversary of the Islamic Emirate [00:18:50] was announced to the people with joy. [00:19:47] The Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate consider this day a significant [00:19:51] historical event [00:19:54] in the history and calendar of Afghanistan, ensuring the complete [00:19:57] security and territorial [00:20:06] integrity of the country. [00:20:27] Some residents of the country are very [00:20:30] happy [00:20:33] with the security and defense forces of the Islamic Emirate, [00:20:38] because this is the day of the defeat of the infidels and NATO, and the [00:20:42] end of the infidel occupation [00:20:45] in Afghanistan. [00:20:46] This [00:21:07] victory of the Islamic Emirate's Mujahideen and the [00:21:10] defeat of America and its allies [00:21:14] in Afghanistan [00:21:17] after years of struggle and sacrifices, led to the victory [00:21:20] over America and its allies in Afghanistan. This [00:21:24] day is celebrated annually by the Emirate's [00:21:26] agencies [00:21:29] in the country. [00:21:33] The people celebrated with widespread participation. [00:21:36] In Kabul [00:21:44] city, people now live freely [00:21:47] and conduct their lives. [00:21:54] The independence of the country from America. [00:24:15] Everyone should unite for the preservation of independence [00:24:19] and the development of the country. [00:26:04] They started by closing roads with restrictions, [00:26:07] but through an economy-driven policy and positive [00:26:10] interaction, [00:26:11] they engaged [00:26:17] with countries. [00:26:32] Five [00:26:38] years ago, after years of struggle, the Islamic Emirate took [00:26:41] power in Afghanistan. It also faced [00:26:45] many political and social [00:26:48] problems, and it was believed that the international market [00:26:52] would be closed to Afghanistan. However, the Islamic Emirate [00:26:56] announced [00:26:57] positive political [00:27:02] engagement with the world. [00:27:47] The volume of exports of manufactured products was less than one billion dollars. [00:27:51] Within the framework of the Islamic Emirate, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, by creating [00:27:54] videos, [00:27:58] opened Afghanistan to the international market. The export volume reached dollars. [00:28:03] Afghanistan's exports in the first, second, and third years [00:28:07] reached two billion dollars, whereas the Republic, [00:28:11] with all its capabilities, no matter how much it tried, [00:28:14] could not exceed 750 million to 800 million. [00:28:18] And today, this year that we [00:28:21] are celebrating, for 9 months, the Pakistani route was closed, [00:28:25] yet, praise be to Allah, the goal we had set for ourselves, that goal, [00:28:28] praise be to Allah, was almost fulfilled at around two billion. [00:28:40] Afghanistan, which heavily relied on Pakistan for trade, [00:28:44] especially in medicines, saw Pakistan close its trade [00:28:47] routes to Afghan export goods. [00:28:50] Afghanistan imported medicines. [00:28:53] The Islamic [00:28:57] Emirate, on the 20th of the solar year 1040, made an unprecedented [00:29:01] decision [00:29:06] to ban all types [00:29:10] of imports from the country. [00:30:32] After the closure of trade routes with Pakistan, Afghan [00:30:35] traders turned to Iran, India, China, Russia, and Central Asian countries, [00:30:39] which are now
