[00:04:00] presided over by Mawlawi Abdulsalam Hanafi, Deputy Head of the Prime Minister's Office.
[00:04:03] In this meeting, the implementation of decisions regarding the permanent
[00:04:07] settlement of immigrants, land distribution, and providing
[00:04:11] suitable conditions for returnees were discussed. The commission members
[00:04:14] also discussed the implementation of the decree of the Esteemed
[00:04:18] Amir al-Mu'minin, may Allah protect him, regarding the construction
[00:04:21] of mosques, madrasas, schools, and clinics in immigrant
[00:04:25] towns.
[00:04:39] Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has called the Moscow format one of the most
[00:04:43] important regional platforms for achieving consensus on
[00:04:47] Afghanistan. He stated at the fourth International
[00:04:51] Eurasian Security Conference in Minsk, Belarus,
[00:04:54] that a month ago, the eighth meeting of the Moscow
[00:04:57] format was held with the presence of a high-level official
[00:05:01] delegation from Kabul in the Russian capital. Russia,
[00:05:05] by hosting the Moscow format meetings, is trying to play a more
[00:05:08] central role in coordinating the positions of regional
[00:05:12] countries on Afghanistan. A role that, after the recognition
[00:05:15] of the Islamic Emirate by Moscow in July 2025,
[00:05:18] has entered a new phase of political
[00:05:21] interactions. Russia was the first country to
[00:05:24] recognize the government of the Islamic Emirate. Sergey
[00:05:28] Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, at the fourth International
[00:05:31] Eurasian Security Conference, called the Moscow format one of the most
[00:05:35] important platforms for achieving regional consensus
[00:05:38] on Afghanistan. The
[00:05:42] Moscow format for consultations on Afghanistan is the most comprehensive
[00:05:46] platform for achieving regional consensus on this country.
[00:05:49] A month ago, the eighth meeting of this framework was held
[00:05:53] in the Russian capital, in which a high-level official delegation from Kabul
[00:05:56] also participated. This meeting was held on October
[00:06:00] 5, 2026, in Moscow, and representatives from Russia, Afghanistan,
[00:06:04] China, India, Iran, Pakistan, and Central Asian countries were
[00:06:08] present. However, analysts emphasize that
[00:06:11] holding such meetings alone is not enough to solve Afghanistan's
[00:06:14] challenges. Believers say Russia can
[00:06:17] use its relations with Kabul and regional countries to encourage
[00:06:21] broader political dialogues among Afghanistan's political
[00:06:24] and social groups. Multilateral diplomacy
[00:06:28] within the framework of regional formats, including the Moscow
[00:06:31] format, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the Organization
[00:06:35] of Islamic Cooperation, can be effective for Afghanistan's
[00:06:38] active multilateral diplomacy based on interests and rules.
[00:07:06] It is important that the Moscow format is a framework for consultations between Russia and
[00:07:09] a number of regional countries regarding developments in Afghanistan,
[00:07:13] and these meetings are held with the aim of coordinating
[00:07:16] views and examining ways of cooperation in political, security,
[00:07:19] and economic fields.
[00:07:21] Azizi
[00:07:24] Group has started practical work on the construction of a hospital
[00:07:28] for treating cancer in Kabul. Mirwais Azizi, the head of this group,
[00:07:31] says that in addition to the cancer treatment hospital, a special
[00:07:35] women's and maternity hospital and also a specialized
[00:07:38] medical science university will also be built.
[00:07:41] The start of practical work on the construction of a cancer
[00:07:45] treatment hospital in Kabul. Cancer, which is known as one of
[00:07:49] the dangerous diseases in the world, claims the lives of thousands
[00:07:53] of people every year. A number of cricket players, national
[00:07:56] traders, and charitable organizations had promised to build such a hospital
[00:08:00] in Kabul, but none of them
[00:08:03] took practical action. Mirwais Azizi, the head of Azizi Group,
[00:08:07] who had previously promised to build a hospital for treating cancer
[00:08:10] in Afghanistan.
[00:09:42] defense, after completing a three-month period of military, ideological,
[00:09:46] and professional training, graduated from the educational

[00:10:07] and a number of military and civilian officials were present. The officials
[00:10:11] present at this ceremony spoke about the importance of unity
[00:10:14] and solidarity, adherence to military discipline, obedience
[00:10:17] to the orders of officials, and accountability.
[00:10:21] Also, young personnel performed
[00:10:24] military demonstrations in the presence of officials, and this ceremony
[00:10:27] concluded with the distribution of certificates to the personnel.

[00:10:40] Thomen Hawk, the new Norwegian Chargé d'Affaires in Afghanistan,
[00:10:43] discussed the historical relations between Afghanistan and Norway
[00:10:47] and further strengthening relations between the two countries. The Ministry of Foreign
[00:10:51] Affairs states that in this meeting, Mr. Hawk praised the achievements
[00:10:55] and progress of the Islamic Emirate in the fields of security,
[00:10:58] combating narcotics, and economic stability.

[00:11:04] Chargé d'Affaires for Afghanistan, met with Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi,
[00:11:08] the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and discussed various
[00:11:12] topics. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that Mawlawi Amir Khan
[00:11:15] Muttaqi assured the new Norwegian Chargé d'Affaires of full
[00:11:19] cooperation in his new mission.

[00:11:26] cooperation will continue during the mission of the new Norwegian Chargé d'Affaires.
[00:11:29] Also, discussions were held about the historical relations
[00:11:33] between Afghanistan and Norway and further strengthening relations between the two countries.
[00:11:37] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that Segwal
[00:11:40] Thomen Hawk praised the achievements and progress of the Islamic Emirate
[00:11:44] in the fields of security, combating narcotics, and economic
[00:11:48] stability. On behalf of Afghanistan,
[00:11:51] I thank you for the good hospitality. With the rise of the Islamic Emirate,
[00:11:55] ensuring security, combating narcotics, and economic growth are commendable.
[00:11:58] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that in this meeting,
[00:12:02] the expansion of bilateral relations between Norway and Kabul
[00:12:05] and a number of other topics were also discussed.
[00:12:08] The
[00:12:11] contracts for the extraction of natural gas from Jangal Kalan, Jawzjan
[00:12:14] province, and the extraction of coal from Pul-e-Khumri mine, Baghlan
[00:12:18] province, were signed between the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum,
[00:12:21] the General Directorate of Emirati Companies, and Azizi Group.
[00:12:27] A significant step in the management of Afghanistan's natural
[00:12:30] and mineral resources, economic growth, and self-sufficiency
[00:12:34] in the energy sector. The contracts for the extraction and development
[00:12:37] of the Pul-e-Khumri coal mine and the Jangal Kalan gas project
[00:12:41] were signed with Azizi Group. Mullah Hidayatullah Badri,
[00:12:44] the Minister of Mines and Petroleum, says that 1,000 megawatts
[00:12:48] of electricity will be generated from the extracted gas of Jangal Kalan,
[00:12:52] and employment opportunities will be provided for about 2,000 people.
[00:13:26] Meanwhile, Mawlawi Ahmad Jan Bilal, the Director General of Emirati
[00:13:30] companies, says that reducing dependence on imported electricity and generating
[00:13:34] electricity from domestic sources are among the priorities of this
[00:13:37] directorate. For this purpose, this contract has been signed
[00:13:41] so that Azizi Group can generate 1,000 megawatts of electricity
[00:13:45] from the extracted
[00:13:47] coal.
[00:13:52] imported
[00:15:25] representatives of the private sector and ambassadors from several countries have opened
[00:15:28] in Kabul. This exhibition aims to introduce domestic products,
[00:15:32] strengthen the market for Afghan products, and provide
[00:15:35] a platform for communication between producers and traders.
[00:15:39] Mechanization of agriculture, increase in domestic
[00:15:43] production, introduction of Afghan products, and achieving self-sufficiency
[00:15:47] in various sectors were among the issues emphasized
[00:15:50] by officials of the Ministry of Agriculture at the 35th exhibition of agricultural
[00:15:54] and livestock products in Kabul. In this
[00:15:57] ceremony, Qari Abdul Sattar Saeed, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Prime
[00:16:01] Minister's Office, also read the message of Mullah Mohammad
[00:16:05] Hassan Akhund, the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate, which highlighted
[00:16:19] If managed properly, it can be effective in reducing
[00:16:22] poverty and unemployment. The Islamic Emirate
[00:16:25] of Afghanistan, for the country's economy,
[00:16:29] domestic
[00:16:31] production
[00:16:36] and livestock
[00:16:42] In addition to increasing production, attention to the process
[00:16:46] of packaging, storage, and evaluation
[00:16:49] of agricultural and livestock products is also of fundamental
[00:16:53] importance. If products are processed
[00:16:56] and standardly packaged within the country, we
[00:16:59] can prevent post-harvest losses,
[00:17:02] increase the economic value of products,
[00:17:06] and provide opportunities.
[00:18:08] Rather, our products must meet market demands.
[00:18:12] First, the required markets must
[00:18:15] be identified, and then, based on market
[00:18:19] demand, the type of products, quantity
[00:18:22] of production, quality, and processing method should
[00:18:26] be planned. Dozens of types of traditional
[00:18:29] herbal medicines are being offered at this exhibition,
[00:18:32] but the quality of their processing
[00:18:35] and also the issue of their packaging, I think, desperately
[00:18:39] needs cooperation. In this
[00:18:42] regard, both in terms of knowledge
[00:18:46] on this topic and equipment for this work,
[00:18:49] as well as the experiences we have, we will help you
[00:18:52] so that you can, God willing, increase the national income
[00:18:56] of the agricultural sector and farmers. A number of
[00:18:59] participants in this exhibition also considered holding such
[00:19:03] programs important in introducing domestic products, supporting
[00:19:06] agricultural and livestock production and growth in the country,
[00:19:10] and welcomed it. In terms
[00:19:13] of marketing, sales, and product introduction,
[00:19:15] these exhibitions play a very important and significant
[00:19:19] role. That is, it is a very good opportunity to introduce
[00:19:23] domestic goods and products in general. Exhibitions
[00:19:27] provide opportunities for sellers
[00:19:30] and buyers to meet in one place
[00:19:34] under one roof for a very short
[00:19:37] time and learn about the products of that country or
[00:19:41] other countries. This
[00:19:44] exhibition is being held at a time when agriculture and livestock
[00:19:48] are important sectors of the lives of the Afghan people. Sectors
[00:19:52] that, if supported and developed, can contribute to increasing
[00:19:55] domestic production, creating job opportunities, and improving
[00:19:59] the livelihoods of the Afghan people. Abdul Rahman Muhaqqiq,
[00:20:01] Milli News, Kabul. The Minister of Public Health
[00:20:05] met with Sadeh Neeld, the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires in Afghanistan,
[00:20:09] and discussed health cooperation. Mawlawi Nurjalal Jalali emphasized
[00:20:13] Turkey's cooperation in training Afghan health workers,
[00:20:16] treating children with congenital heart diseases, building
[00:20:20] and equipping general hospitals, importing Turkish medicines,
[00:20:23] and facilitating the acquisition of Turkish visas for patients.
[00:20:27] Mawlawi Nurjalal
[00:20:30] Jalali, the Minister of Public Health, met
[00:20:33] with Sadeen Aldas, the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires, and discussed
[00:20:36] the country's cooperation in training Afghan health workers,
[00:20:39] treating children with congenital
[00:20:43] heart diseases, building hospitals in districts,
[00:20:47] and equipping the cancer hospital.
[00:21:18] The purpose of the trip
[00:21:28] He said that investments and aid in providing necessary
[00:21:32] equipment and medicines will increase.
[00:21:35] The Turkish Ambassador stated that his country
[00:21:39] will continue its cooperation with Afghanistan's health
[00:21:42] sector.
[00:21:45] It should
[00:21:50] be noted that expanding health cooperation with Turkey and
[00:21:53] implementing the agreements can reduce the medical
[00:21:57] problems of Afghan patients and improve the level
[00:22:00] of health services in the country.
[00:22:04] Personnel, doctors, nurses, and technical and professional
[00:22:07] fields have a great need. Specialized education, for example, neurosurgery,
[00:22:11] surgery for cancer patients, providing advanced medical
[00:22:15] equipment to hospitals. Strengthening hospitals,
[00:22:17] hospitals.
[00:22:36] It is expected that new efforts to expand cooperation between
[00:22:40] the two countries will have more effective results
[00:22:43] in strengthening Afghanistan's health system and improving
[00:22:47] the treatment process for Afghan patients.
[00:22:51] Sheikh Sher Ahmad Haqqani, the Minister of Information and Culture, at the
[00:22:54] launching ceremony of the books "Fundamental Beliefs of Islam"
[00:22:57] and "Islamic Economics," said that the occupiers in the past
[00:23:00] 20 years tried to influence the thoughts of the people of society
[00:23:04] through false propaganda and promotion of false ideas.
[00:23:07] According to Mr. Haqqani, individuals with weak beliefs
[00:23:10] were influenced by this propaganda and preferred material interests
[00:23:14] over religious values. The books "Fundamental
[00:23:18] Beliefs."
[00:25:20] The Minister of Information and Culture added that Western economics
[00:25:24] is based on a system in which the economic interests of some
[00:25:28] individuals are secured through oppression and injustice against the rights
[00:25:32] of others. However, in Islamic economics, the rights and interests
[00:25:35] of all members of society are considered, and economic justice holds a special
[00:25:39] place.
[00:25:40] The
[00:25:44] whole power of the world is with them. How can
[00:25:46] one compete with them? This is a weakness
[00:25:50] of faith. So many resources and possibilities, so much money,
[00:25:54] big
[00:25:56] palaces.
[00:26:02] The speakers comprehensively discussed the content
[00:26:05] of these two books and considered their publication a vital
[00:26:09] need for society. They urged citizens
[00:26:12] to dedicate time to reading and to make greater efforts
[00:26:15] to institutionalize the culture of reading.
[00:26:19] A US
[00:26:21] federal court has temporarily halted a plan to transfer
[00:26:25] a number of Afghan migrants from Pakistan to Afghanistan.
[00:26:29] US media reported that the ruling was issued by
[00:26:32] Judge Valerie Caproni, a federal judge in New York, and will
[00:26:36] remain in effect until Saturday. However, prior to this,
[00:26:39] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had called on the US
[00:26:43] to treat Afghan migrants in the US in accordance
[00:26:46] with international laws and with respect for human dignity.
[00:26:49] Following the reaction of the Ministry of Foreign
[00:26:53] Affairs of the Islamic Emirate and international organizations,
[00:26:57] a US federal court has temporarily halted the plan of US President
[00:27:00] Donald Trump to transfer
[00:27:04] a number of Afghan asylum seekers to Afghanistan via Pakistan.
[00:27:07] US media reported that this
[00:27:10] order was issued by Judge Valerie Caproni, a federal judge
[00:27:14] in New York, on November 3rd, and this order will
[00:27:18] remain in effect until Saturday.
[00:27:21] The attempt to deport a large number of Afghan
[00:27:24] asylum seekers to a third country like Pakistan
[00:27:28] violates the principle of non-refoulement
[00:27:31] and conventions.
[00:28:34] The US Democratic Party regained control of both
[00:28:37] houses of Congress from the Republican Party in the midterm
[00:28:41] elections on November 3, 2026. According to reports,
[00:28:44] Democrats won 228 seats out of a total of
[00:28:48] 435 seats in the House of Representatives,
[00:28:51] while Republicans have so far won 139
[00:28:55] seats. To achieve
[00:28:58] a majority in this house, each party needs at least
[00:29:02] 218 seats. Also, the Democratic
[00:29:06] Party has gained the majority in the Senate by winning
[00:29:09] 54 seats, while Republicans
[00:29:13] have won 44 seats.
[00:29:15] Iran's
[00:29:18] Revolutionary Guard Corps has stated that four oil tankers
[00:29:22] were destroyed after hitting naval mines south of the Strait
[00:29:26] of Hormuz. According to reports, this incident occurred when
[00:29:30] the said ships were trying to pass through a sea
[00:29:33] route that had been declared off-limits.
[00:29:37] The Revolutionary Guard Corps added that these oil tankers
[00:29:41] are still burning and announced in a press release that
[00:29:44] two other ships have also been seized.
[00:29:47] And the latest news is that following
[00:29:51] Israeli regime's air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip,
[00:29:55] four Palestinians were martyred and many others were injured.
[00:29:59] Palestinian officials say that these attacks took place
[00:30:03] in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip
[00:30:06] and also in the Al-Masdar area in the central part of this region.
