[00:00:18] The defense of countries
[00:00:22] is an independent national sovereignty, and territorial
[00:00:25] integrity is an Islamic mission.
[00:00:28] In the years
[00:02:04] , 968
[00:02:07] were built across the country,
[00:02:10] through which
[00:02:12] 4884
[00:02:14] have
[00:02:17] been grounded.
[00:02:24] If it continues
[00:02:25] that
[00:02:30] domestic dairy products, a technical committee will prepare
[00:02:33] a regular operational plan within 20 days to determine the
[00:02:37] value of dairy product prices and marketing.
[00:02:38] In this meeting,
[00:02:45] support for livestock farmers and an increase
[00:02:49] in the production and sale of dairy products at a
[00:02:52] suitable price were emphasized. Our effort is to be able to provide
[00:02:56] milk collection centers for our livestock sector.
[00:03:30] Afghan will be reconstructed. According to information from the economic deputy,
[00:03:33] after the reconstruction of this dam, with a production capacity
[00:03:36] of 2.1 megawatts of electricity, electricity will be provided
[00:03:40] to approximately 4,000 families. This deputy
[00:03:43] has stated that the reconstruction of this dam will be completed
[00:03:46] within 14 months.
[00:03:48] The international
[00:03:54] community has recently, in addition to humanitarian aid,
[00:03:57] paid attention to Afghanistan in other sectors as well.
[00:04:01] This is an issue that the Islamic Emirate has always emphasized
[00:04:04] before. The United Nations and the government of Qatar
[00:04:08] have stated in two separate statements that their focus is on
[00:04:12] assisting and supporting the people of Afghanistan and have also asked their partners
[00:04:15] to continue their aid to Afghanistan
[00:04:19] to respond to the needs of Afghans and support essential
[00:04:22] services. After 5 years, the Islamic Emirate
[00:04:26] and the international community are seeking new ways in their
[00:04:30] relations. After 5 years, the Islamic Emirate receives
[00:04:33] assurances of support from the international community.
[00:04:36] The United Nations says that in the current
[00:04:40] situation, the focus of this organization is on assisting and
[00:04:44] supporting the people of Afghanistan. And this organization,
[00:04:47] along with its partners across the country,
[00:04:51] continues to provide humanitarian aid and
[00:04:54] life-saving services. The United
[00:04:57] Nations and its partners call on the international community
[00:05:00] to continue their aid to Afghanistan to respond to the needs
[00:05:04] of the people and support essential services. The United
[00:05:08] Nations and countries that provide
[00:05:11] humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan should
[00:05:15] separate humanitarian issues from the political situation
[00:05:19] currently prevailing in Afghanistan. At the same time, Qatar
[00:05:23] has emphasized its active role as an international
[00:05:27] partner in Afghanistan and stated that it will continue
[00:05:30] its efforts through mediation, dialogue,
[00:05:34] and hosting Afghanistan-related meetings. Abdullah
[00:05:37] bin Ali Behzad, Second Secretary
[00:05:40] of Qatar's Permanent Mission to the United Nations
[00:05:44] in the Geneva office, stated in an interactive
[00:05:47] discussion of the UN Human Rights Council
[00:05:51] that Qatar is trying to contribute to creating a global
[00:05:54] consensus on Afghanistan and providing the ground
[00:05:58] for dialogue and coordination.
[00:06:00] کند.
[00:06:05] ethical and humanitarian responsibility, positive
[00:06:08] and practical interactions with Afghanistan should
[00:06:12] take place. Economic and humanitarian projects
[00:06:16] should be implemented and in the context
[00:06:19] of Afghanistan
[00:06:21] 's
[00:06:24] dignity, the Minister
[00:06:26] of Economy
[00:06:30] must
[00:06:42] have provided shelter services to 75,000 needy individuals
[00:06:46] in Afghanistan and health services
[00:06:49] to approximately 90,000 people in the past 18 months.
[00:06:53] He added that he coordinates with donor countries
[00:06:57] to attract more financial resources and will continue
[00:07:00] his support for returnees and needy individuals.
[00:07:03] The international community and aid organizations,
[00:07:06] due to their humanitarian nature, have not
[00:07:10] been very effective. We ask the international
[00:07:14] community and international aid organizations to put
[00:07:18] their aid with a humanitarian, developmental,
[00:07:21] and infrastructural approach on their agenda
[00:07:25] so that we can strengthen and revive
[00:07:28] Afghanistan's economic infrastructure.
[00:07:31] Although the Islamic Emirate has managed basic affairs
[00:07:34] in the past 5 years using domestic revenues and to
[00:07:38] some extent with the help of international organizations,
[00:07:41] according to citizens, the international community
[00:07:45] should strengthen its aid to Afghanistan
[00:07:48] to the same extent that it receives a budget
[00:07:52] for Afghanistan at the international level.
[00:07:55] The contract for the extraction and processing of the talc
[00:07:59] mine in block three of Nangarhar province,
[00:08:03] worth over 4.5 million dollars, was signed between the Ministry
[00:08:06] of Mines and Petroleum and a private company. Officials from the Ministry
[00:08:10] of Mines and Petroleum say that the contracting company will pay
[00:08:13] 1320 Afghanis in royalties to the Islamic
[00:08:17] Emirate for each ton extracted. The contract
[00:08:19] for the extraction and processing of the Tarak Block
[00:08:23] Three mine in the Shinwari district of Nangarhar province
[00:08:27] was signed between the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum and a private
[00:08:30] company in Kabul. Humayun Afghan, the spokesperson for this
[00:08:34] ministry, says that Mullah Hidayatullah Badri, the Minister
[00:08:37] of Mines and Petroleum, said during the signing of this
[00:08:41] contract that the ground for work and economic activities has been provided for the local residents.
[00:10:12] The United Nations, on the occasion of International Literacy Day,
[00:10:16] states that currently, 739 million young people
[00:10:19] and adults worldwide lack basic literacy skills.
[00:10:22] Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education says that
[00:10:26] in the past four years, over 19,000 literacy courses
[00:10:29] have been established across the country, providing
[00:10:33] education opportunities for nearly 430,000
[00:10:36] citizens. September
[00:10:39] 8th marks International Literacy Day. UNESCO,
[00:10:42] or the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and
[00:10:46] Cultural Organization, states on this occasion that
[00:10:50] millions of young people and adults in the world are still
[00:10:53] deprived of reading and writing literacy.
[00:10:57] Currently, 739 million people worldwide, including
[00:11:00] youth and adults, lack basic literacy
[00:11:04] skills such as reading and writing.
[00:11:07] Meanwhile, Zabihullah Hemmat, the spokesperson
[00:11:11] for the Ministry of Education, says that after the re-establishment
[00:11:14] of the Islamic Emirate, this ministry has implemented
[00:11:18] various programs, including literacy courses, to increase the literacy
[00:11:21] level of administrative staff and citizens.
[00:11:26] In the past four years, 967 literacy
[00:11:29] courses have been established across the country,
[00:11:32] through which
[00:11:34] 481
[00:11:37] people have been provided with literacy education.
[00:11:40] Likewise, in the past four
[00:11:42] years,
[00:11:49] 5118 have been built, totaling
[00:11:51] 4950.
[00:12:00] Here at the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation,
[00:12:03] dozens of service employees of this ministry are engaged
[00:12:07] in basic education or literacy training. They consider the
[00:12:11] role of literacy education effective in creating more
[00:12:14] facilities in carrying out their duties and ask the Ministry
[00:12:18] of Education to pay more attention to this sector.
[00:12:21] The literacy course is nine months long, and
[00:12:24] we teach three classes in nine months. The first,
[00:12:28] second, and third classes. Our program will be
[00:12:31] completed from the month of Hamal to the month of Qaws.
[00:12:35] After the evaluations are carried out, we will issue a certificate
[00:12:38] to these students in the ninth month. How many students
[00:12:42] are taught here? They have learned a lot. It says that there is no small
[00:12:46] or big lesson. Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.
[00:12:49] Of course, for young and old,
[00:12:53] old and young, literacy
[00:13:25] is an atomic question. They must read. The officials of this ministry
[00:13:28] say that in this meeting, it was decided that a technical
[00:13:32] committee will prepare a practical and organized plan
[00:13:35] within 20 days to determine the value, price,
[00:13:38] and marketing of dairy products. At the same time, the Chamber
[00:13:42] of Agricultural and Livestock Production has welcomed this program
[00:13:46] and says that this program can play an important
[00:13:48] role in strengthening the livestock sector. In the meeting
[00:13:52] chaired by Maulvi Sadrazam Osmani, Deputy Minister
[00:13:55] of Agriculture and Livestock, it was decided to support
[00:13:59] domestic dairy producers that a technical committee
[00:14:02] will prepare a practical marketing plan to determine the price of dairy products
[00:14:06] within 20 days. In this meeting,
[00:14:09] support for livestock farmers and an increase
[00:14:13] in the production and sale of dairy products at a suitable
[00:14:16] price were emphasized, and a committee was also
[00:14:20] appointed to complete specific work
[00:14:23] on improving the marketing and pricing
[00:14:26] of dairy products within 20 days. At the same time,
[00:14:30] the Afghanistan Agricultural and Livestock Production
[00:14:33] Chamber says that this program can create a systematic system
[00:14:37] for collecting, storing, and transferring milk to factories.
[00:14:41] For example, if each family has it, keeping it at home
[00:14:45] becomes a factory itself, and its production,
[00:14:48] when it produces, is sold, and through that,
[00:14:52] they can even complete their income, God willing.
[00:15:15] to be transferred to factories so that the factories can process
[00:15:19] and produce it in a standard and technical manner.
[00:15:22] The efforts of institutions, the efforts of the Chamber
[00:15:25] of Agricultural and Livestock Production, in cooperation
[00:15:28] with organizations working in this sector, we have
[00:15:31] been able to establish the largest milk collection
[00:15:35] centers or milk processing
[00:15:52] centers in localities, villages, and provinces. The Afghanistan
[00:15:56] Livestock Chamber adds that currently all dairy products
[00:16:00] are produced domestically. This chamber asks the government
[00:16:03] that if tariffs on similar foreign products are increased, domestic production can
[00:16:08] stand on its own feet and grow more. The Ministry of Communications
[00:16:12] and Information Technology signed a contract worth
[00:16:15] over 422 million Afghanis for the installation of 52
[00:16:19] communication antennas in 6 provinces of the country
[00:16:23] with Afghan Telecom Company. Enayatullah Alikozai, the spokesperson
[00:16:26] of this ministry, says that this contract was signed based on the
[00:16:30] high decree of Amir al-Mu'minin, may Allah protect him, and
[00:16:33] includes remote areas of Badakhshan, Kunar, Nangarhar,
[00:16:37] Nuristan, Paktia, and Khost. Mullah Abdullah, Minister
[00:16:41] of Communications and Information Technology, considered the expansion
[00:16:45] of communication coverage in remote areas important and emphasized
[00:16:47] that necessary measures
[00:16:53] will be taken in this regard. The Herat Provincial
[00:16:56] Chamber of Agriculture and Livestock announces the export of a number
[00:17:00] of agricultural products to various countries around the world. The head
[00:17:03] of this chamber emphasizes that currently various
[00:17:07] agricultural and horticultural items, including fresh and
[00:17:11] dried fruits, almonds, and some other products, are exported
[00:17:15] abroad through Iran. The Herat Chamber of Agriculture and Livestock,
[00:17:18] in a program held to honor and serve those working
[00:17:22] in the agriculture and livestock sectors in this province,
[00:17:25] announced the export of a number of agricultural and horticultural
[00:17:28] items to some countries around the world. The head of
[00:17:32] this chamber also referred to the interest of Iranian
[00:17:36] officials in investing in various
[00:18:08] agricultural sectors in the country. We hope that our memorandums
[00:18:11] of understanding will be converted into contracts in the near future,
[00:18:15] God willing. On the other hand, the head of the Herat Province
[00:18:19] Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Sellers Association also speaks
[00:18:23] about the export of some agricultural items, especially
[00:18:26] horticultural products, to a number of countries
[00:18:30] around the world in recent years. We have exports
[00:18:33] of about ten vegetables, which I can name one by one
[00:18:38] for you, from domestic apples to Iraq, Azerbaijan,
[00:18:42] and the United Arab Emirates, and all the other
[00:18:45] vegetables we have, even cucumbers from Herat are exported
[00:18:49] to the markets of the United Arab Emirates by
[00:18:52] the Association of Vegetable Sellers
[00:18:55] and other friends. It is worth mentioning
[00:18:59] that the Herat Chamber of Agriculture and Livestock
[00:19:02] also referred to the existence of abundant agricultural
[00:19:06] lands and the provision of a suitable environment for investment
[00:19:10] in this sector in the country.
[00:19:13] The increase in the price of fuel and gas in Takhar
[00:19:17] markets has raised concerns among the residents of this province.
[00:19:21] Some residents of Takhar say that the price of
[00:19:25] fuel and gas has increased significantly compared to previous
[00:19:28] years, and currently, a liter of petrol in Taloqan
[00:19:31] city is 87 Afghanis, and one kilogram of gas
[00:19:35] is sold for 80 Afghanis, which people cannot afford
[00:19:39] to buy. Meanwhile, meanwhile,
[00:19:41] officials attribute the increase in fuel prices
[00:19:45] to high prices in international markets and consider
[00:19:49] this issue a universal challenge.
[00:19:51] The residents
[00:19:54] of Takhar are concerned about the increasing price
[00:19:57] of fuel and gas in this
[00:19:59] province.
[00:20:01] Some residents of Takhar say that the price of
[00:20:05] fuel and gas in the markets of this province is increasing
[00:20:08] day by day, and officials should pay attention
[00:20:12] to controlling it; otherwise, the rising
[00:20:16] price of fuel will challenge people's lives
[00:20:19] and businesses. The price of oil has become very
[00:20:22] high these days, and people's economic situation
[00:20:26] is not very good. We ask the government to pay attention
[00:20:30] to the high prices of oil, gas, and these things
[00:20:33] because people are a little concerned. The reality is that
[00:20:50] people are also in trouble and struggling. So,
[00:20:53] we ask the Islamic Emirate to really control
[00:20:56] these prices. Meanwhile,
[00:20:59] some fuel sellers and the head of the Takhar
[00:21:03] fuel stations association say that the increase
[00:21:06] in fuel and gas prices is not only related to domestic
[00:21:10] markets, but also developments and wars
[00:21:13] in some parts of the world and the increase in
[00:21:16] fuel prices in international markets have caused the
[00:21:20] price of oil and gas to increase in Afghanistan.
[00:21:22] They add that Afghanistan has been affected by these
[00:21:26] changes due to the imported nature of most fuel
[00:21:30] and gas, and this is a universal challenge.
[00:21:34] The recent developments at the regional
[00:21:37] and global levels directly affect
[00:21:40] the price of oil and gas. This is not an issue
[00:21:44] that local traders can control or play a significant
[00:21:48] role in its rise and fall. We ask
[00:21:51] the Islamic Emirate to announce new prices
[00:21:55] to the people so that there are no more complaints
[00:21:59] from the people. It is the end of the
[00:22:02] year, and the weather is getting cold, so
[00:22:06] the new prices should be low so that our sales
[00:22:08] increase, and people do not complain. The customs
[00:22:11] duties have no effect on the price of oil
[00:22:15] and gas. It proceeds normally.
[00:22:18] The only effect is the blockade
[00:22:20] of oil production by Russia and the high
[00:22:24] global price. God willing, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
[00:22:27] has promised cooperation in this regard, and
[00:22:31] perhaps a contract will be signed with other oil
[00:22:35] producers in the world, and this price will decrease.
[00:22:38] However, the residents of Takhar ask officials
[00:22:41] to prevent a further increase in the price of
[00:22:45] fuel and gas in Takhar markets by monitoring
[00:22:49] the market and taking necessary measures. According to them,
[00:22:52] the economic capacity of many families is not
[00:22:55] compatible with the current prices.
[00:23:00] Nasser, a resident of Nangarhar, after
[00:23:03] losing several family members in a traffic accident,
[00:23:07] started traveling to various provinces of the country
[00:23:11] and asks drivers on the highways to adhere
[00:23:14] to traffic rules and regulations and avoid
[00:23:18] carelessness. This time, he went to Kunar and there,
[00:23:22] on the highways, he conveys this message to drivers:
[00:23:25] that their lives are more valuable than speed and carelessness.
[00:23:29] A moment of carelessness, a lifetime of regret.
[00:23:33] Nasser Khan has come to Kunar this time with this
[00:23:37] slogan. Here, on the highways, he asks drivers to adhere
[00:23:41] to traffic rules and save their own lives
[00:23:45] and the lives of others. Nasser Khan, after losing
[00:23:49] several family members
[00:25:50] in a traffic accident,
[00:25:51] launched a widespread
[00:25:55] campaign across the country to raise awareness about carelessness.
[00:25:59] Dozens of police officers from the security command
[00:28:02] of Mohammad Agha district, Logar,
[00:28:05] after attending a seminar,
[00:28:06] were briefed.
[00:28:12] In other news from around the world, Saudi Arabian
[00:28:16] Energy Ministry officials said that the Houthi
[00:28:20] group attacked several energy facilities and
[00:28:23] service centers in the southern regions of the
[00:28:27] country, resulting in fires at these facilities.
[00:28:30] Officials added that at least 73 people were injured
[00:28:34] in these attacks. These attacks are taking place
[00:28:38] while Saudi Arabia-backed forces in Yemen are clashing
[00:28:41] with the Houthi group in the provinces of Taiz,
[00:28:45] Al Bayda, and Al Jawf.
[00:28:47] These forces claimed
[00:28:50] to have liberated many areas from Houthi control
[00:28:54] and are trying to capture the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
[00:28:58] Iran, amid the ongoing war with the United States,
[00:29:01] announced the creation
[00:29:32] of a maritime exclusion zone in the Persian Gulf
[00:29:36] and warned the United
[00:29:38] States about increasing
[00:29:41] economic and military actions. Reuters reported that
[00:29:45] the United States, along with Japan and South Korea,
[00:29:48] has started joint military exercises in the region.
[00:29:52] Russia, after a thirty-day ceasefire, carried out
[00:29:55] widespread attacks using fighter jets and rockets
[00:29:59] on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and the Boryspil
