[00:09:26] The Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Islamic Emirate, [00:09:30] nationally and [00:09:34] internationally, [00:09:39] has established meetings [00:13:21] in the Gregorian year in economic and other sectors for Afghanistan. [00:13:27] The Islamic Emirate has provided a legal framework, electricity, utilities, [00:13:30] telecommunications and technology, [00:13:33] industry, banking, and trade [00:13:36] and foreign investment. [00:13:39] Domestic and foreign [00:13:40] companies have invested in various [00:13:44] sectors, and domestic and foreign [00:13:48] companies have also shown interest [00:13:50] in investment. The [00:13:54] professional extraction of natural resources [00:14:00] has been a top priority. [00:14:03] Since last year, dozens [00:14:06] of extraction and processing operations [00:14:09] have started, and [00:14:12] dozens [00:14:14] of other geophysical studies have been completed. The practical work at [00:14:16] the end [00:14:20] of the Afghanistan Islamic Emirate in its [00:14:22] work [00:14:28] during the past year has produced tens [00:14:32] of solar power. In this sector, [00:14:35] a contract to produce 1000 [00:14:38] megawatts of electricity has been signed with Azizi Energy Group. [00:14:42] Also, contracts for electricity production have been signed [00:14:45] with various domestic and foreign [00:14:49] companies. [00:14:50] The [00:14:53] Islamic Emirate has made efforts during this period to implement [00:14:57] modern and up-to-date plans [00:15:00] to create [00:15:02] many [00:15:06] job opportunities for the producing countries. [00:15:10] The domestic demand and the level of exports [00:15:13] have increased. Likewise, during the past [00:15:17] year, a safe environment [00:15:19] has been created for domestic and foreign [00:15:23] investments in the country, and efforts are still underway [00:15:27] in this area. Work has also begun [00:15:30] on water management, for example, the Pashtan and Shahr-e Zhar [00:15:33] dams have been handed over for operation. [00:15:43] Works have begun such as the Kabul- Ghazni second line road, the remaining [00:15:46] part of the Salangs, the Wakhan [00:15:49] Corridor, the Kabul- [00:15:51] Nangarhar second line road, including dozens of roads [00:15:55] in first-class provinces, roads [00:15:58] in provinces, and the extension of roads [00:16:02] to remote districts from provincial centers, and [00:16:06] connecting the country with countries [00:16:10] through railway lines is also continuing [00:16:12] rapidly. In the industrial [00:16:16] sector, the Islamic Emirate has encouraged private investment and private [00:16:20] enterprises in the country [00:16:22] and guaranteed their protection. Afghanistan currently [00:16:26] produces agricultural products [00:16:27] and [00:16:31] in several other sectors, it reaches [00:16:33] numbers. The ground has been laid [00:16:37] for investment in the industrial sector of Afghanistan, and domestic and foreign [00:16:41] investors have practically invested in the aforementioned sectors. [00:16:45] In [00:16:47] terms of regional [00:16:50] connectivity, Afghanistan has become the safest and most important [00:16:54] transit and energy route [00:16:57] between Central and South Asia. [00:17:00] The Islamic Emirate has prepared the ground for the implementation [00:17:04] of the TAPI, CASA-1000, and TOLO projects. [00:17:09] In terms of security, in the near past, the national [00:17:12] army personnel who have graduated from their studies and are professionally [00:17:16] included in their compatriots, their number [00:17:19] is [00:17:21] 1818. [00:17:24] Also, only in [00:17:37] logistics, traffic, and prison security sectors, [00:17:41] in [00:17:47] the past year, diplomatic [00:17:49] relations [00:17:55] have been established between Afghanistan and other countries [00:17:58] up to the members of the Council [00:18:01] of [00:19:38] Ministers. Now, this system and this government, [00:19:42] which is the fruit of your unwavering support [00:19:44] and the blood of your children, [00:19:47] stands on its feet. We all move forward [00:19:51] hand in hand. Our enemies [00:19:54] and their corrupt intelligence agencies [00:19:58] cannot tolerate this harmony, [00:20:01] peace and tranquility of this beautiful and [00:20:04] free land. But we believe [00:20:07] that this unified body of the system and the nation [00:20:11] stand together like body and soul, [00:20:15] and together we will bring this land, the heart [00:20:18] of Asia, to the heights of prosperity, honor, and power. [00:20:40] This is the beginning [00:20:41] of Uhud [00:20:45] and Badr, and the overturned [00:20:48] caravan. [00:21:11] Examples of steadfastness and patience, [00:21:14] their unique qualities, are [00:21:18] the pillars. [00:21:23] They are the soldiers of Allah who have [00:21:26] the sweetest relationship [00:21:29] in the world. All of them are [00:21:33] like a solid structure and are equipped [00:21:36] with a pure [00:21:38] belief that they fight with high determination and morale against [00:21:42] every tyrant, so that [00:21:45] the oppressor may point the finger of anger and wrath at the table. [00:21:48] The oppressor who silenced [00:21:50] the Islamic world with his commitment [00:21:54] and promise, this military quality [00:21:58] is not the only one, but we also have examples [00:22:02] in the political and cultural fields. The negotiating team, [00:22:05] after years of negotiations, still defended its position. [00:22:09] They are the political forces of this movement. [00:22:13] In this movement, the idea of martyrdom [00:22:16] is the full loyalty of the mujahideen of this movement. [00:23:20] In order to protect the Islamic system and its foundations, [00:23:23] they are in various stages. This is also [00:23:27] their sacrifice that broke the occupation, and today, [00:23:31] due to their sincerity and commitment, they have brought security [00:23:34] to the nation, the defense of the Islamic borders, [00:23:38] the foundation of the ruling Islamic system, and consider it their responsibility [00:23:41] to bring the suffering and afflicted people to the right path. [00:23:44] In the path of the Prophet, [00:23:46] after [00:23:50] creating harmony and unity after the parties, [00:23:53] serving, thinking about the freedom [00:23:57] of the Islamic land, only these unified [00:24:01] forces can heal wounds. Our [00:24:04] unified forces for the new generation [00:24:07] are based on the spirit and theory of belief, [00:24:11] to which they will refer. The next generation [00:24:15] will be inspired by it, and step by step, [00:24:18] based on this, with their forces. [00:24:21] Fellow countrymen, under the title of unified forces, [00:24:25] no specific opinions are shared with you. [00:24:45] They were not tired, they were not exhausted, [00:24:48] and they did not deviate from their path. [00:24:50] These are the unified [00:24:52] forces of the Islamic Emirate, those who, yesterday, [00:24:56] broke the occupation with their sacrifice, and today, because of their sincerity [00:25:00] and commitment, they have brought security [00:25:02] to the nation. [00:25:05] In order to make their people happy and protect them, [00:25:09] they sacrificed their young [00:25:11] and beautiful youth. [00:25:33] They march under the banner of monotheism [00:25:36] because their qualities are united, and they protect the plains [00:25:40] and mountains of the country [00:25:44] in a unified manner. We are the owners of a strong army [00:25:48] and the fighters of a strong force. [00:25:58] From overthrowing the system to defending the Islamic system, [00:26:01] those proud and dignified people who are high [00:26:04] on [00:26:06] their [00:26:10] path and [00:26:13] have [00:26:15] reached [00:26:20] the Ministry of All Affairs and the special Mujahid forces related to intelligence. [00:26:24] In our dear country, they are the security [00:26:27] and unified forces of the Islamic system [00:26:31] who work day and night in hardship [00:26:41] and ease, hunger. Assurance is the result of commitment. [00:26:44] Wherever there is commitment, the result of every work [00:26:48] will be like this, just like the result of the commitment [00:26:52] of the forces of the Islamic Emirate, [00:26:55] in order to elevate the pure word, we take firm steps [00:26:58] and maintain the complete independence of our dear country. [00:27:19] We are friends and we are tough against the enemy. [00:27:23] We are with the Muslims of the world. [00:27:26] May Allah unite [00:27:27] all Muslims. [00:27:53] In [00:27:56] our lives, there should be [00:27:59] no bitterness. [00:30:28] The performance of responsibility should not be overshadowed by any privilege, [00:30:32] appreciation, [00:31:12] or praise. [00:32:23] This is a test and a good [00:32:26] opportunity. If we waste our time and youth, [00:32:30] the enemy will also gain strength. And then, [00:32:33] we will not be able to account for our negligence [00:32:37] to the nation, [00:32:38] nor to ourselves, nor to Allah (SWT).
