[00:00:34] Later, Afghan traders expanded trade with Iran, India, China, Russia, and Central Asian [00:00:38] countries, which are currently Afghanistan's most important trading [00:00:41] partners, and created new markets. Afghanistan [00:00:45] should not be dependent [00:00:48] on one country. For this reason, the Iran route, [00:00:50] Bandar-Abbas port, Central Asian routes through [00:00:54] Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Lapis Lazuli [00:00:57] corridor and other regional corridors are important. [00:01:23] to increase and maintain the stability of the Afghan currency [00:01:26] against foreign currencies, especially the US dollar. [00:02:10] Afghanistan has expanded its relations with the world and [00:02:13] created new [00:02:17] opportunities for traders, of which the TAPI and Afghan Trans [00:02:21] projects are important. Trade with Iran, China, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan has been [00:02:24] expanded through railways and many projects have been [00:02:28] implemented in this area, and a number of [00:03:00] Afghan regions have become international news. [00:04:00] The construction of factories has led [00:04:03] to Afghan products reaching international markets. This boosted [00:04:07] industry, which led to many investors [00:04:10] investing in Afghanistan. Currently, the Islamic Emirate [00:04:14] has become self-sufficient in many sectors. [00:04:18] It emphasizes providing all facilities [00:04:21] to the sector. In the past five years, the Afghan [00:04:24] industry has entered [00:04:25] a new [00:04:31] phase of development, which has seen significant [00:04:35] progress in the past five years. [00:04:38] This is compared to the progress [00:04:42] of the past twenty years. In this period, [00:04:46] many new factories have been built [00:04:49] for production, and opportunities [00:04:51] have been created. [00:04:56] The responsibility for industry [00:05:00] and trade was entrusted to us. We [00:05:03] had less than 2,000 factories. Today, [00:05:07] the exact statistics that, thank God, are available to us, the database for [00:05:10] registration. [00:05:12] a good environment for investment [00:05:21] In Afghanistan, [00:05:24] and the legal framework, in the past five years, [00:05:28] in Afghan industry has been created, so that currently [00:05:32] the country's manufactured goods in terms of quality can [00:05:35] compete internationally with [00:05:39] products and meet the needs of countries. [00:06:30] The reduction of fines and tax [00:06:33] exemptions and the provision of industrial land to the country [00:06:36] of Afghanistan [00:06:38] has been done. [00:08:47] The Islamic Emirate has been providing various facilities [00:08:50] for [00:08:54] exports. [00:09:00] In the area of investment in industrial cities and the establishment of industrial parks in the country, work [00:09:04] has been done and the government has [00:09:07] encouraged, motivated and invited investors [00:09:11] to this. [00:09:30] for their family and country. [00:09:33] In the past five years, [00:10:31] many ups and downs have been experienced. [00:10:34] Afghan products [00:10:39] have been exported to meet the needs of the market [00:10:42] and to international markets. [00:10:45] The city [00:10:54] of Kabul tells the story of the changes [00:10:57] that have transformed the capital. [00:11:25] In the past five years, the face of Kabul has changed. [00:11:29] These [00:11:33] changes are visible in many parts of Kabul, including the expansion [00:11:36] and renovation of urban road networks. In the past [00:11:40] five years, a number of major [00:11:43] projects [00:11:45] for the construction of new roads in some parts of the capital [00:11:49] have also been completed. [00:11:50] Part [00:12:44] of the project was the construction of several major [00:12:47] underpasses and overpasses [00:12:51] in Kabul. Their construction [00:12:55] was initiated by the new leadership [00:12:57] to address [00:12:59] the traffic problems of the capital. [00:13:38] However, the transformation of Kabul is not limited to roads. In some parts of the city, [00:13:42] efforts have also been made to improve the external environment. [00:13:45] The cleanliness of some areas [00:13:54] and [00:14:03] the beautification of the city are visible in the movement of people and the general appearance of the city.
