[00:01:16] In addition to road construction in the country, electricity [00:01:18] projects in Afghanistan [00:01:21] have been completed in this [00:01:39] area. The project [00:01:41] has been completed. Thank [00:01:43] God, [00:01:46] since the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan [00:01:49] came to power in Afghanistan, [00:01:52] it has been a great blessing [00:01:55] for us that today, [00:02:01] in the remotest area [00:02:03] of Afghanistan, we [00:02:07] are witnessing such a ceremony, [00:02:10] such a gathering, which is the completion of the [00:02:13] Wakhan Pamir road project. We [00:02:17] observe the very [00:02:20] honorable Islamic Emirate [00:02:23] of Afghanistan. What [00:02:27] is the goal and [00:02:30] for what purpose has it come [00:02:34] and been established? Thank God, and it has [00:02:37] succeeded. Its first goal [00:02:40] is to establish an Islamic [00:02:44] government and an Islamic system [00:02:47] in Afghanistan. Once this government [00:02:51] becomes an Islamic government and the [00:02:54] system becomes an Islamic [00:02:57] system, it considers it its duty to serve the people. [00:03:01] It considers [00:03:03] it its duty to serve the people. [00:03:06] It considers it its duty to [00:03:10] ensure the security of the people. It considers [00:03:13] it its duty to defend the [00:03:16] land and borders of its country. [00:03:18] Thank [00:03:20] God, for more than five years, [00:03:24] as you can see, [00:03:26] comprehensive security prevails in Afghanistan. [00:03:30] And wherever you hear [00:03:33] and see in Afghanistan, reconstruction is underway. [00:03:37] Thank God, the mujahideen of the Islamic [00:03:39] Emirate are generally eager [00:03:43] to serve the people to the best of their [00:03:46] ability. In [00:03:49] the international research conference on the scientific heritage of Imam Burhanuddin [00:03:52] Marghinani (may Allah have mercy on him), Minister Sheikh Noor [00:03:56] Mohammad Saqib of the Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs said that this scientific meeting [00:04:32] discussed cooperation between nations, the general situation, the importance of humanitarian aid, [00:04:35] the continuous reintegration of returning Afghan refugees, Afghanistan's specific needs in [00:04:39] climate change and water sectors, and the need for more cooperation and [00:04:42] regional situation. [00:04:46] Views were exchanged on the situation. [00:04:49] Opportunities for further cooperation [00:04:52] were discussed between the two [00:04:56] high-ranking officials, and the importance of such [00:05:12] cooperation was emphasized. Afghanistan [00:05:15] says [00:05:17] that Afghanistan has not been used against any country, especially [00:05:20] Pakistan. [00:05:23] No one should be allowed to work. [00:05:26] The ministry insists that by raising the issue of Pakistanis, [00:05:30] it is trying to impose unreasonable demands [00:05:33] on Afghanistan. Although the Islamic [00:05:36] Emirate of Afghanistan has not been used [00:05:40] against other countries, especially Pakistan, recently a Pakistani [00:05:44] official asked the Islamic [00:05:47] Emirate to allow Afghanistan to be used [00:05:51] against other countries, especially Pakistan. [00:05:54] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated [00:05:56] that Afghanistan has not been used against any other country, [00:06:00] especially Pakistan, and [00:06:04] will not be used in the future. [00:06:06] The [00:06:10] Kandahar [00:06:39] authorities have responded to Pakistan's [00:06:42] women and children, have been killed in Helmand province. [00:07:02] attacks. As a result of Pakistan's [00:07:05] attacks, about twenty [00:07:08] civilians, including [00:07:29] The world has not fulfilled its responsibilities towards Afghans properly. [00:07:33] The freezing [00:07:35] of Afghanistan's assets, [00:07:38] the country's economic situation, [00:07:41] and the economic situation. [00:07:50] The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the Islamic Emirate is moving in a positive direction [00:07:53] and emphasized that the Islamic Emirate has fulfilled its responsibilities towards the Afghan [00:07:57] people properly. Abdul Qahar Khil, in an interview with [00:08:00] a foreign media outlet, discussed the world's approach to [00:08:04] Afghanistan and the continued [00:08:07] freezing of the assets of Afghanistan's central bank. [00:08:11] The country's rapid development [00:08:17] in Afghanistan is another major shortcoming [00:08:20] of the international community. [00:08:23] The Islamic Emirate is moving forward, but the freezing of [00:08:27] Afghanistan's assets, the imposition [00:08:30] of sanctions, and the rapid progress of the country, economic [00:08:33] growth, and other obstacles to the development of society [00:08:37] are among the major shortcomings of the international [00:08:40] community in Afghanistan. [00:08:58] Afghanistan is an independent and sovereign country. [00:09:02] Just as we do not interfere in the internal affairs [00:09:05] of other countries, other countries should also respect [00:09:08] this [00:09:09] principle. [00:09:12] They use their existing resources as a tool of pressure [00:09:16] to implement their demands in Afghanistan. [00:09:19] They emphasize that [00:09:22] no [00:09:27] one is allowed to keep them. [00:09:42] The Islamic Emirate, through a balanced foreign policy, seeks to establish political [00:09:45] and economic relations with all regional [00:09:48] and international countries. [00:09:52] Afghanistan's ambassador to Moscow, Maulvi Gulhasan, participated in the international [00:09:55] forum for news from the Northern [00:09:58] Caucasus [00:10:12] and expanded investment and economic [00:10:16] cooperation. [00:10:29] Maulvi Noorjalal Jalali is ready for technical [00:10:33] cooperation with Russia's Ministry of Health in [00:10:35] improving the quality of [00:10:37] healthcare services and facilitating [00:10:41] healthcare workers. [00:10:48] Jalali discussed [00:10:50] cooperation [00:10:55] between Afghanistan and Russia in the [00:10:57] healthcare [00:10:59] sector to strengthen the system for [00:11:03] importing medicines, [00:11:06] vaccines, and medical equipment, and [00:11:19] provided information on Afghanistan's [00:11:22] healthcare sector. He emphasized the need to improve [00:11:25] the quality of services [00:11:27] and the professional development [00:11:32] of healthcare [00:11:32] workers. [00:11:37] He expressed his country's readiness for technical [00:11:40] cooperation with Afghanistan [00:11:44] in this area. Between [00:11:47] countries, [00:11:49] the Minister of Public Health, Maulvi [00:11:52] Noorjalal Jalali, [00:13:30] discussed sharing experience with Afghanistan, the daily responsibilities of officials [00:13:33] from relevant agencies, and the cooperation [00:13:36] between the two countries. [00:13:38] Both emphasized the need [00:13:41] for continuity. [00:13:49] The Ministry [00:13:49] of Defense said [00:13:53] that during the earthquakes and other natural disasters, [00:13:57] the ministry's officials are fully ready to provide [00:14:00] extensive rescue [00:14:03] and assistance [00:14:06] in this area. The Ministry of Defense said [00:14:10] that it has full preparedness against various [00:14:14] natural disasters and will provide [00:14:17] useful assistance [00:14:20] to relevant agencies in rescuing [00:14:23] and evacuating people [00:14:26] during such events. The Ministry of Defense has taken [00:14:30] necessary measures for preparedness and rapid [00:14:34] response to natural disasters according to its organized plan. [00:14:37] During severe storms, snow, floods, earthquakes, [00:14:40] and other incidents, the Ministry of Defense's personnel [00:14:44] in central and provincial units will take [00:14:48] immediate [00:14:50] action to rescue [00:14:52] and protect [00:14:57] the affected people. He added that the Ministry of Defense [00:15:01] quickly delivers food, medicine, and essential [00:15:04] supplies, and is committed to protecting public [00:15:08] institutions, civilians' lives, property, [00:15:11] and dignity. It is ready to provide [00:15:15] all kinds of assistance in this regard. [00:15:18] The Ministry of Defense is committed to protecting the lives, [00:15:22] property, and dignity of civilians [00:15:25] and will take necessary measures to protect public [00:15:29] facilities and private property. The Ministry of Defense will use [00:15:32] all its available resources to protect [00:15:36] the country's security [00:15:38] and territorial integrity, as well as to protect [00:15:42] the people and provide timely [00:15:44] assistance to affected [00:15:48] countries. Previously, the Ministry of Defense provided assistance [00:15:52] in various provinces of the country [00:15:54] during floods, [00:16:23] earthquakes, [00:16:24] and fires, [00:16:28] and also effectively [00:16:30] participated [00:16:34] in the recovery efforts. [00:16:42] The Kandahar [00:16:44] governorate has reacted [00:16:47] to Pakistan's [00:17:01] foreign media [00:17:02] reports [00:17:06] with attention. The Kandahar [00:17:09] governorate has strongly [00:17:13] rejected Pakistan's recent baseless [00:17:16] claims of meeting with foreign [00:17:19] militants. In a statement, the Kandahar [00:17:22] governorate office said that Pakistan's military regime [00:17:25] is trying to justify the killing of civilians [00:17:29] and other crimes in Afghanistan through [00:17:32] baseless claims. [00:17:35] The statement also emphasized that Afghanistan does [00:17:38] not need to meet [00:17:45] with foreign militants. This is [00:17:49] part of Pakistan's propaganda [00:17:52] to cover up [00:17:55] the killing of civilians [00:17:58] and its other crimes in Afghanistan. [00:18:02] These statements are made while [00:18:05] Pakistan [00:19:05] targeted civilians, [00:19:08] but no practical action has been taken [00:19:12] to prevent these attacks. [00:19:15] During his trip to Haqman province, [00:19:19] the Minister of Information and Culture, Sheikh Shir Ahmad, [00:20:57] also held talks on collecting [00:21:00] ancient artifacts and other issues with the head [00:21:04] of the Department of Information and Culture. [00:21:08] During [00:21:09] the trip, [00:21:16] a new administration [00:21:24] was formed for the department. [00:21:27] The cultural department presented proposals [00:21:31] and reported on ongoing [00:22:02] programs. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and the United [00:22:05] Arab Emirates have signed a cooperation agreement [00:22:09] to develop a railway line through Afghanistan and connect [00:22:12] Central Asian countries to Pakistan's [00:22:14] seaports. The [00:22:18] United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Energy [00:22:21] and Infrastructure signed a cooperation agreement [00:22:25] to develop international transport, trade, logistics, [00:22:28] and investment. The Ministry [00:22:31] of Public Works called the development of the railway [00:22:35] network through Afghanistan [00:22:37] and the facilitation of transit a significant step [00:22:41] towards strengthening economic ties [00:22:44] among regional countries. The ministry also expressed [00:22:47] its readiness for cooperation [00:22:50] in these areas. The Ministry of Public [00:22:54] Works of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, [00:22:57] considering the current secure environment [00:23:00] and suitable conditions in the country, [00:23:03] and within the framework of the economic-centric [00:23:07] policy of the Islamic Emirate, welcomes countries [00:23:11] from the region and the world that are working [00:23:14] to develop Afghanistan's railway. [00:23:17] It is ready to provide any cooperation [00:23:23] in accordance with [00:23:24] the country's [00:23:28] laws. Economic experts say that [00:23:32] if this project is implemented, Afghanistan will become [00:23:36] a transit hub for the region, [00:23:39] which is part of a new transit [00:23:43] and trade map between Central [00:23:46] Asian countries and South Asia. [00:24:15] This means that countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, [00:24:19] will have access to the open seas through Afghanistan.
