[00:00:00] And God willing, this exhibition will be one of the
[00:00:04] best exhibitions among
[00:00:07] all the exhibitions that have been held. You yourself have seen
[00:00:10] and observed what a good exhibition
[00:00:14] this will be and what a good achievement it will
[00:00:17] have in the B2B meetings. We won't take up too much time. Thank you to all
[00:00:21] the friends.
[00:00:23] دوستان.
[00:00:30] Mr. Mullah Sahib Jahan, thank you. And now
[00:00:34] it's time for our dear journalists
[00:00:37] to ask questions from Mr. Ahmad
[00:00:41] Shakil Hazem, Deputy of Policy and
[00:00:45] Technical Affairs of Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment. We invite him
[00:00:48] to provide more information regarding the preparations
[00:00:52] and answer the journalists' questions.
[00:00:54] بدن.
[00:01:39] of our dear colleagues, I must mention
[00:01:42] that the fifth Imam Abu Hanifa
[00:01:45] (may Allah have mercy on him) exhibition is one of a kind and
[00:01:49] a national brand of ours that
[00:01:52] all traders,
[00:01:55] industrialists, and investors, in cooperation with the respected
[00:01:58] media,
[00:02:02] should help in informing the people of Afghanistan in this regard.
[00:02:05] As it was discussed, we
[00:02:09] had shared invitations
[00:02:13] to 50 countries,
[00:02:16] and we received positive responses from 20
[00:02:19] countries. The countries that have the most participation in this exhibition
[00:02:22] are, as the esteemed president said,
[00:02:26] Iran, which requested approximately 13350
[00:02:30] square meters of area from us,
[00:02:33] and its contract has been signed. Also, Uzbekistan
[00:02:37] requested 500 square meters
[00:02:40] of area from us. Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, also requested
[00:02:44] large areas from us. India,
[00:02:46] Turkey, and Russia,
[00:02:49] in addition to showcasing their
[00:02:52] products in Afghanistan, will also send very
[00:02:55] large business delegations
[00:02:59] to Afghanistan for this Imam Abu Hanifa exhibition. This is an opportunity
[00:03:03] for Afghan traders, industrialists, and investors
[00:03:07] to take advantage of this opportunity and sign
[00:03:10] important and large trade agreements and contracts.
[00:03:13] Furthermore,
[00:03:17] political stability and security have enabled us, as
[00:03:21] our colleagues mentioned, to
[00:03:24] achieve self-sufficiency in
[00:03:27] domestic production in the near future.
[00:03:30] The current
[00:03:33] government, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has developed
[00:03:37] numerous policies, all of which
[00:03:40] are trade-oriented, export-oriented,
[00:03:43] and support domestic production.
[00:03:47] These policies, in addition to
[00:03:50] that, the trips that the
[00:03:54] Director General of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment
[00:03:57] made to various countries, including Uzbekistan,
[00:04:01] Kyrgyzstan, India, and Turkey,
[00:04:04] all had the goal of attracting foreign investment
[00:04:07] to Afghanistan. You are aware that
[00:04:11] we have held numerous business networking
[00:04:15] or B2B programs during the past
[00:04:18] year, and
[00:04:21] all of these
[00:04:24] lead to our traders and the traders
[00:04:27] of regional and international countries becoming interested
[00:04:31] in investing in Afghanistan. Afghanistan
[00:04:35] is a country with immense and unique opportunities
[00:04:38] in the agricultural, commercial,
[00:04:42] industrial, mining, and electricity sectors,
[00:04:46] and other areas. Therefore,
[00:04:48] we expect that the Imam Abu Hanifa exhibition,
[00:04:52] based on the measures taken, the trips made,
[00:04:55] and the agreements signed, will be
[00:04:58] one
[00:05:01] of the unique and unprecedented exhibitions at the national
[00:06:42] Based on the information we have, approximately 50%
[00:06:45] of the contracts that have been concluded have been implemented.
[00:06:48] These memorandums of understanding have been converted into contracts,
[00:06:52] and the trade relations we have with the countries in the region
[00:06:55] today, a very
[00:06:57] good example of which
[00:07:00] is Uzbekistan, where our trade has grown from 350
[00:07:03] million dollars to over 1.8 billion dollars.
[00:07:07] And this also shows that today, various
[00:07:10] countries are interested. Although most of
[00:07:14] it was imports, but today,
[00:07:18] in addition to considering the import sector,
[00:07:21] Afghanistan's exports have also increased
[00:07:25] to various countries.
[00:07:28] We cannot definitively say how many
[00:07:31] percent. Well, over 50 percent, approximately over
[00:07:35] 50 percent of these contracts and memorandums of understanding
[00:07:38] have been converted into contracts.
[00:08:42] It's not that we only showcase technology or medicine in this
[00:08:46] exhibition. All products, all the products that Afghanistan
[00:08:49] has today, are exhibited, both from
[00:08:53] construction and from manufacturing, and industrial
[00:08:56] and mining. Also in this exhibition, in addition
[00:09:00] to showcasing our industries,
[00:09:04] it is an opportunity for
[00:09:06] our traders and also international
[00:09:10] traders. They also showcase their products.
[00:09:13] This is not limited to one sector; it covers
[00:09:16] all sectors. Mr. Hasani gave an example regarding
[00:09:20] the industries that have been exhibited.
[00:09:24] But so far, more than 800 booths have been sold,
[00:09:27] and we have reached
[00:09:30] the point where
[00:09:34] we probably cannot have more booths.
[00:09:37] Regarding what
[00:09:40] product
[00:09:43] is specific, we do not consider
[00:09:46] such a thing because the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment
[00:09:49] is a national institution that represents
[00:09:52] all sectors and does not make any distinction
[00:09:56] or difference between manufacturing
[00:10:00] and commercial sectors.
[00:10:19] external investment in Afghanistan. How much has it increased since last
[00:10:23] year until now?
[00:10:37] In addition to showcasing our products, we
[00:10:39] should be able to attract foreign investment.
[00:10:43] And for this reason, we showcase opportunities
[00:10:46] in all sectors. From the government
[00:10:50] agencies, we will have presentations, video
[00:10:53] graphics in the exhibition,
[00:10:56] and they will be published. Also, we will have
[00:11:00] a booth from each sector where they will present
[00:11:03] their products and their capacities
[00:11:06] and opportunities.
[00:11:10] Attracting foreign investment requires a series
[00:11:13] of long-term measures. For example,
[00:11:17] among them is a guarantee
[00:11:21] that when a foreign investor wants to invest in Afghanistan,
[00:11:25] they need a definite guarantee as to whether
[00:11:28] these significant changes that we have experienced
[00:11:32] in the last 50 are considered
[00:11:34] a kind of threat. For this
[00:11:38] reason, the exact figure is not available to us, but
[00:11:42] there have been joint ventures with our domestic sectors,
[00:11:45] a large number, especially from Uzbekistan,
[00:11:49] and we are not only attracting
[00:11:52] investment; we are also considering the transfer of technology
[00:11:55] and expertise through this exhibition, so that both technology
[00:11:59] and expertise are transferred to Afghanistan. Thank you.
[00:12:55] Sahib, the media of
[00:12:58] our country. Today, we are
[00:13:01] on the eve of the fifth
[00:13:04] Imam Abu Hanifa exhibition. It is a great
[00:13:08] pleasure that this
[00:13:11] institution of the Afghanistan International Exhibition
[00:13:14] is also celebrating its fifth year with the holding of this
[00:13:17] Imam Abu Hanifa exhibition.
[00:13:20] This Afghanistan International Exhibition
[00:13:23] is linked with the name of Imam
[00:13:27] Abu Hanifa (may Allah have mercy on him) and started with this name.
[00:13:30] And we, representing
[00:13:34] the Afghanistan International Exhibition, are trying
[00:13:38] our best to organize
[00:13:41] this brand of Imam Abu Hanifa in the best possible way,
[00:13:45] in a very good way.
[00:13:48] The brand of Imam Abu Hanifa is the
[00:13:52] international trade brand of Afghanistan. As Mr. Azam said,
[00:13:56] it is not limited to one sector.
[00:13:59] It is the only exhibition that covers
[00:14:02] all domestic and foreign sectors of Afghanistan.
[00:14:06] It is the only sector, the only brand
[00:14:09] that all foreign and
[00:14:12] domestic sectors can participate in
[00:14:15] and take part in this exhibition. And I
[00:14:19] can also say that a large number of foreigners,
[00:14:22] regional and supra-regional countries,
[00:14:25] have contacted us, and
[00:14:29] even, as the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce may
[00:14:32] have informed you, we don't have
[00:14:35] any halls to give to foreign brands.
[00:14:39] There is so much interest in this brand.
[00:14:42] And we, representing the Afghanistan
[00:14:46] International Exhibition, are trying our best to organize
[00:14:49] this exhibition in such a way that its name has become extraordinary
[00:14:52] in Afghanistan, in a fundamental and extraordinary way.
[00:16:35] After the nights of three decades of democracy,
[00:16:39] the shining sun of the Islamic Emirate has risen
[00:16:42] in our land. The flowers of
[00:16:46] hope have bloomed again in the hearts of our people,
[00:16:50] and everywhere the talk is of freedom,
[00:16:53] happiness, and prosperity. In
[00:16:57] Herat province, the city of knowledge, struggle,
[00:17:01] soldiers, and students have gathered
[00:17:04] together. And with one voice,
[00:17:07] under one flag, they raise the call
[00:17:11] of Islam, independence, and progress.
[00:17:14] دهد.
[00:17:22] In this gathering, the identity of the Muslim
[00:17:25] soldier was introduced. A soldier
[00:17:29] whose historical roots are linked to the battles
[00:17:32] of the Prophet and other
[00:17:35] mujahideen
[00:17:38] whose moral and intellectual identity is derived
[00:17:42] from the Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger
[00:17:45] of Allah, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him. A soldier
[00:17:49] who is fully sincere and committed to his religion
[00:17:52] and his people. The Muslim
[00:17:55] soldier,
[00:17:59] the soldier of Islam,
[00:18:00] is
[00:18:03] not negligent, not
[00:18:05] enslaved.
[00:20:16] Today, our people have realized the truth
[00:20:20] and have recognized their true
[00:20:23] children. And they will never
[00:20:27] be deceived by the plots of the enemies of Islam
[00:20:30] and our people's security.
[00:20:32] خورند.
[00:21:08] Today, the love of the main flag
[00:21:11] of our land has taken root in the hearts of all our
[00:21:15] people from all walks of life.
[00:21:18] Our
[00:21:20] Muslim people know well that this
[00:21:23] flag is the flag of the Messenger
[00:21:26] of Allah, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him.
[00:21:29] It is the flag of honor
[00:21:32] and dignity. It is the flag
[00:21:34] of true humanity. It is the flag of truth
[00:21:38] and justice. It is a flag under
[00:21:41] whose shade the happiness of this world and the hereafter
[00:21:44] for humans is realized.
[00:21:47] From you
[00:22:21] the pen of knowledge, and the righteousness of the Muslim soldier
[00:22:25] is the strong pillar of the honor
[00:22:28] and prosperity of our land. Whenever
[00:22:32] the people of knowledge and our Muslim soldiers
[00:22:35] join hands and move towards
[00:22:38] a single goal in a single direction,
[00:22:42] the shining of our land as a free
[00:22:46] and advanced country in the
[00:22:49] sky of culture and civilization
[00:22:52] is an inevitable matter.
[00:23:15] The scattering of flowers by a student
[00:23:18] upon the Muslim soldier of his land,
[00:23:22] the tying of a book to the hands of the
[00:23:25] Muslim soldier, on the back of the student,
[00:23:29] and the donation of educational materials to him
[00:23:32] demonstrates the strong commitment that these
[00:23:36] two make for the preservation of Afghanistan's
[00:23:39] independence and progress.
[00:23:41] بندند.
[00:26:02] I have no sorrow,
[00:26:06] this was my desire.
[00:26:09] May I be a mourner for the enemy,
[00:26:13] may I be a mourner for the enemy.
[00:26:15] My Takbir is the revolution,
[00:26:19] the enemy is left with no way
[00:26:21] forward or backward.
[00:26:25] By the blessing of our faith,
[00:26:28] by the blessing of our faith.
[00:26:32] I am also a fist of steel,
[00:26:35] I am the adornment of religion.
[00:26:38] My life is sacrificed in the way
[00:26:40] of truth. I am in the way
[00:26:44] of this religion. This is my way as long as
[00:26:47] I have life and body. This
[00:26:51] is my way as long as
[00:26:55] I have life and body.
[00:26:56] باشمها
[00:28:32] The enemy of Islam should be prepared in such a way that they are afraid of our
[00:28:35] strength, determination, and resources. These are also the
[00:28:39] Aryans, meaning they should be afraid
[00:28:40] of the enemy
[00:28:43] attacking Islam or Muslims. But it is a pity that many
[00:28:47] Muslims, due to the neglect
[00:28:50] of infidels, to Muslims while
[00:28:54] ک
