00:02:11In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, in this sensitive
00:02:15phase of global and regional changes, Afghanistan is one of the countries in
00:02:18the region that has an environment of internal
00:02:22stability and national sovereignty. This has created
00:02:25the opportunity for the country to move from
00:02:28political rivalries to economic cooperation. Afghanistan's
00:02:32foreign policy is independent, balanced and economy-oriented. The
00:02:35basic vision of the Islamic Emirate is that
00:02:39regional economic ties, transit,
00:02:42and investment for mutual benefits
00:02:44are in the interest of all countries.
00:03:02The Islamic Emirate in the country, internal, regional, Islamic
00:03:06Emirate,
00:03:12large,
00:03:19treasuries,
00:03:24economy.
00:04:00In the countries of the region and at the global level, it will naturally have
00:04:04direct effects on Afghanistan's trade, economy,
00:04:07transit, politics, and security. Because
00:04:10Afghanistan is always affected by regional
00:04:14games, and the more tensions increase between powerful
00:04:17regional countries and powerful global countries,
00:04:21the more it will have an impact on Afghanistan's economy.
00:04:25How can Afghanistan avoid
00:04:27being affected by these developments? When Afghanistan
00:04:31can maintain balanced policies between
00:04:35regional countries and foreign countries. If we maintain
00:04:39balance among countries and have economic,
00:04:41commercial, and transit alternatives,
00:04:45then these tensions will not have a significant
00:04:49impact on Afghanistan. But as long as Afghanistan
00:04:52needs the help of foreign countries, Afghanistan is a country
00:04:56dependent on foreign aid and imports, and Afghanistan
00:05:00is a consumer country and has a consumer
00:05:03market, it will always suffer from regional
00:05:06and foreign tensions. We must work more
00:05:10on infrastructure, and
00:06:27this country, South Asia, Central
00:06:30Asia, which
00:06:33has no status,
00:06:36Afghanistan's location creates
00:06:39both opportunities and challenges.
00:07:08increase domestic and foreign investors in Afghanistan. Create
00:07:12a transparent and accountable system in Afghanistan.
00:07:16Service centers in Afghanistan should be expanded. Customs
00:07:20centers and financial centers should be established
00:07:23more in Afghanistan. If the Afghan government
00:07:27provides these conditions, we can make more
00:07:30use of existing capacities, and the Afghan government
00:07:34should also focus more on public and private
00:07:38investments in the extraction of mines, the extraction
00:07:41of underground resources in
00:10:18Afghanistan and direct investment can provide opportunities.
00:10:21Internal infrastructure and electricity and
00:10:38other things. Afghanistan has an important
00:10:41location for energy, trade, and transit.
00:10:44If security and political stability exist, large
00:10:48projects like
00:10:51railways for the country
00:11:04that Afghanistan is a crossroads for connecting
00:11:08Central Asia to South Asia and South Asia
00:11:11to Central Asia, it must make proper
00:11:14use of its geopolitical location, and Afghanistan
00:11:18must be able to receive transit fees
00:11:21from the implementation of large projects. If
00:11:25large national and regional projects are implemented in
00:11:29Afghanistan, and we can build more railways
00:11:33in Afghanistan, meaning that we create new economic
00:11:37corridors for Afghanistan, and Afghanistan becomes a
00:11:40connecting bridge between the countries of the region,
00:11:44this can generally strengthen Afghanistan's geopolitical role,
00:11:47and this can directly and indirectly create
00:11:51employment opportunities in Afghanistan, reduce the poverty rate, and generally improve
00:13:28the per capita income of the government. In
00:13:31particular, the war between Iran and the United
00:13:34States and Israel in the Middle East, as well
00:13:38as the intensification of the war between
00:13:41Russia and Ukraine, and these economic
00:13:45competitions, war, and changes in global trade
00:13:49routes can also create challenges
00:13:52for Afghanistan's economy and politics,
00:13:55and can also be an opportunity,
00:13:58because Afghanistan is located in the heart
00:14:02of the region. Therefore, if its
00:14:05importance and stability are maintained,
00:14:08Afghanistan can use these changes to
00:14:12its own benefit, and from an economic
00:14:16perspective, Afghanistan can engage in transit
00:14:19trade, investment, and regional
00:14:23cooperation.
00:14:31If it has balanced and positive
00:14:34relations with regional countries,
00:14:37this can be beneficial for Afghanistan
00:14:40and can also provide
00:14:43a platform for economic growth
00:14:47and greater stability. And another thing
00:14:50is that Afghanistan
00:14:52has natural resources and also
00:14:55a suitable geographical location,
00:14:57and in addition to that, we
00:15:00have a young workforce and
00:15:04a very good capacity in agriculture,
00:15:07and it is important that these
00:15:10resources are used in
00:15:13a proper and
00:15:15transparent manner.
00:15:24China, Russia,
00:15:27Central Asian countries, and India, each have their
00:15:30own security and economic interests in Afghanistan. Therefore,
00:15:34Afghanistan feels the impact
00:15:37of their cooperation and influence. The regional rivalries
00:15:41that arise among the countries of the region
00:15:45will naturally have direct effects on
00:15:48Afghanistan's market and trade, because Afghanistan is
00:15:51an import-dependent country. Therefore, any tension
00:15:55that arises among the major countries of
00:15:59the region will have a direct impact
00:16:02on the consumer or end-user
00:16:04inside Afghanistan. When can we
00:16:07be free from these effects? When
00:16:11Afghanistan works more on infrastructure within
00:16:14the country and Afghanistan maintains a neutral
00:16:18policy, meaning that it never takes sides
00:16:22with powerful regional countries, and maintains
00:16:25good and amicable relations with all
00:16:29countries while preserving Afghanistan's national interests,
00:16:33so that we can have alternatives for
00:16:36trade with regional
00:18:47countries. In this case, Afghanistan will not be
00:18:51affected by regional tensions and can generally
00:19:07avoid direct impacts on Afghanistan, and Afghanistan
00:19:11will focus on state institutions, the
00:19:15private sector, and domestic and foreign
00:19:18investors in Afghanistan. If these factors
00:19:22and infrastructure are implemented in Afghanistan,
00:19:26and practical steps are taken with implemented
00:19:29projects in Afghanistan, we can create
00:19:33economic order in Afghanistan and improve
00:19:36Afghanistan's economic,
00:20:47commercial, and transit situation. Yes, it
00:20:50is important for the economic situation
00:20:53of Afghanistan. Many countries.
00:21:18The war is
00:22:50between Central and South
00:22:53and West Asia. If these large
00:22:56projects such as railways,
00:23:00roads, and
00:23:02energy
00:23:05transmission, and trade corridors
00:23:08are implemented, we can say
00:23:12that if they are implemented, Afghanistan
00:23:16will undoubtedly become a very important
00:23:20transit and trade hub in the
00:23:23region. And these
00:23:26projects will not only increase
00:23:29the country's income, but
00:23:32will also create thousands of
00:23:36job opportunities, attract investment,
00:23:39whether domestic or foreign,
00:23:42and promote trade and
00:23:45generally strengthen economic relations
00:23:51with neighboring countries. And
00:23:55finally, Afghanistan's geographical
00:23:57location can turn
00:24:01from a challenge
00:24:04into an economic
00:24:07and strategic opportunity. In
00:24:10general, due to its geographical location, Afghanistan
00:24:14is an important part of regional
00:24:17equations. If political stability, extensive
00:24:20international interaction, and economic
00:24:24reforms continue,
00:29:04Afghanistan can take advantage
00:29:06of its geographical
00:29:12location as a good economic
00:29:16and strategic opportunity. Mujahideen
00:29:19and soldiers of Islam,
00:29:23you are a symbol of sacrifice and
00:29:26selflessness, who
00:29:40with hearts full of faith
00:29:43steadfastness.
