00:03:02According to the spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, these projects include 24 hospitals in the district, 25 health
00:03:06centers,
00:03:11one emergency services section, one cardiac surgery section, four
00:03:15intensive care sections, and one special section for child treatment.
00:03:19The spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate also said in this program regarding the activities
00:03:22of the Olympic Directorate of Physical Education and Sports in the year
00:03:251447 Hijri that this
00:03:29directorate's media holds an average of
00:03:32440 domestic competitions at the central and
00:03:36provincial levels monthly. According to Mullah Zabihullah Mujahid, during this
00:03:39period, five major leagues were held, and
00:03:43Afghanistan also hosted world championships in badminton
00:03:47and traditional wrestling.
00:03:50The Embassy of the Islamic Emirate in Islamabad
00:03:57has expressed deep concern
00:04:01over the decision of the Pakistan Medical Commission to expel a number of Afghan
00:04:04students studying medical fields in that country.
00:04:08The embassy, in a statement, called on Pakistani educational
00:04:11institutions and international organizations
00:04:15to cooperate to preserve the educational rights of Afghan
00:04:19students so that they can complete their studies without
00:04:22interruption.
00:04:24On the other hand, Amnesty
00:04:30International called the decision of the Pakistan Medical
00:04:33Commission to expel Afghan students from medical fields
00:04:37a discriminatory and arbitrary act.
00:04:40The organization emphasized that Pakistan is obliged under international human
00:04:44rights law to respect the right to education
00:04:47without discrimination based on nationality.
00:04:50The
00:04:56international community, in recent days, in addition to humanitarian aid, has also
00:05:00paid attention to Afghanistan in other areas. This is an issue that
00:05:03the Islamic Emirate has always emphasized before.
00:05:07The United Nations and the government of Qatar, in two separate statements, said
00:05:10that their focus is on helping and supporting the people of Afghanistan
00:05:14and they have also asked their partners to continue their assistance
00:05:18to Afghanistan to respond to Afghan needs
00:05:21and support basic services. After
00:05:245 years, the Islamic Emirate and the international community
00:05:28are looking for new ways in their relations. The Islamic
00:05:31Emirate, after five years, is receiving implicit
00:05:35assurance of support from the international community.
00:05:38The United Nations says that in the current
00:05:42situation, the organization's focus is on assisting
00:05:46and supporting the people of Afghanistan, and this
00:05:49organization, along with its partners across the country,
00:05:52continues to provide humanitarian aid and life-saving
00:05:56services. The United Nations and its partners call on the
00:05:59international community to continue their assistance to Afghanistan
00:06:03to respond to the needs of the people and support basic services.
00:06:07The United Nations and countries
00:06:10that provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan
00:06:14should separate humanitarian
00:06:17aid issues from the political situation
00:06:21that currently prevails in Afghanistan. At the same time, Qatar
00:06:25emphasized its active role as an international partner
00:06:28in Afghanistan and said that it will continue
00:06:31its efforts through mediation, dialogue,
00:06:34and hosting Afghanistan-related meetings.
00:06:37Abdullah bin Ali Behzad, Second Secretary
00:06:41of the Permanent Mission of Qatar to the United Nations
00:06:44Office in Geneva, said in an interactive discussion of the UN Human
00:06:48Rights Council that Qatar is trying
00:06:52to cooperate in creating global consensus on
00:06:55Afghanistan and providing a platform
00:06:58for dialogue and coordination. Moral
00:07:00and human
00:07:05responsibility requires that Afghanistan be treated
00:07:09with positive and practical interactions.
00:07:13Any economic or humanitarian project
00:07:16should be implemented, and in this context,
00:07:19Afghanistan
00:07:20if
00:07:26the Minister of Economy
00:07:30should
00:07:42that this institution has provided shelter services to 75,000 needy
00:07:46individuals in Afghanistan and health services to approximately 90,004
00:07:50thousand people in the past 18 months,
00:07:53and added that it coordinates with donor countries to attract more
00:07:57financial resources and will continue its support
00:08:01for returnees and needy individuals. The international
00:08:04community and aid organizations, due to their humanitarian
00:08:08nature, have not been very
00:08:11effective. We call on the international community and international
00:08:15aid organizations to put their aid
00:08:18with a humanitarian, developmental,
00:08:22and infrastructural approach on their agenda so that we
00:08:25can strengthen and revive the economic infrastructure
00:08:29of Afghanistan. Although the Islamic Emirate, in the past
00:08:325 years, has carried out basic tasks
00:08:36using internal revenues and to some extent with the help of international
00:08:39organizations, but according to citizens, the international
00:08:43community should also strengthen its aid to Afghanistan
00:08:47to the same extent that it receives budget for Afghanistan
00:08:50at the international
00:08:52level.
00:08:55The Economic Deputy of the Council of Ministers says that the Managi power dam in
00:08:59Kunar province will be rehabilitated at a cost of approximately
00:09:0283 million Afghanis. Based on information from the Economic Deputy,
00:09:06after the rehabilitation, this dam will provide 2.1
00:09:09megawatts of electricity for approximately four thousand families.
00:09:13This deputy said that the rehabilitation work of this dam
00:09:17will be completed in 14 months.
00:09:32We have a discussion about this. For more discussion, Rameesh Ayyar, an economic expert, is our guest
00:09:36today. Mr. Ayyar, hello, good day. How much will
00:09:39the reconstruction of this power dam cost?
00:10:09Let's discuss according to what you said in your report.
00:10:12The Managi power dam in Kunar province
00:10:16is scheduled to be inaugurated, or rather, rehabilitated. The rehabilitation
00:10:19that we are discussing here is the rehabilitation of a power dam with the construction of a large
00:10:23canal for power generation.
00:10:40In terms of energy, economic development,
00:10:43and economic infrastructure, if we look at it,
00:10:46the source of electricity itself can be
00:10:50one of the factors of production. We are talking about electricity in this regard because
00:10:53a dam is being built.
00:11:28which can supply electricity to 4,000 families,
00:11:31which costs 2075 Afghanis. Correct? So today, the Afghan
00:11:35government is investing in one of the electricity sources
00:11:38in one of the provinces of Afghanistan, and in return,
00:11:412075 Afghanis are spent per family by the government.
00:11:45This does not mean that we collect 2075 Afghanis from each
00:11:48family. This is the economic analysis indicator
00:11:52of the issue that the government provides
00:11:55this support to the people, but in addition
00:11:59to the rehabilitation of the power dam, we must also consider several
00:12:02other issues. Of course, from my personal point of view, in addition to
00:12:06the construction of the power dam, if the government also considers three
00:12:09other issues, then we can say that its economic value
00:12:13and economic impacts are greater. Firstly, we must monitor
00:12:16the expenditure of 83 million Afghanis so that 83 million
00:12:20Afghanis are truly spent correctly and transparently
00:12:23on the rehabilitation of the dam. Secondly, quality assurance
00:12:27of the rehabilitation is important, meaning how many more years will this rehabilitated power dam
00:12:31serve us? And the third important
00:12:34point is the economic effects that, in addition to the construction
00:12:38of the dam, how many small production units can we activate there,
00:12:41how much online education can we bring to the region, how many
00:12:45electric mills can we establish there,
00:12:48how many cold storages can we establish there that need
00:12:52electricity? If these factors
00:12:55are provided with the electricity there, we cannot have direct
00:12:59economic effects only from the light in homes. If
00:13:02the construction of the power dam there causes
00:13:06local economy to grow, causes employment to be created, and
00:13:10causes people's income to increase, then in the future, we can
00:13:14conduct a thorough analysis and review of how much
00:13:17the power dam and the construction of the dam in Kunar
00:13:21province have been able to boost the local economy in that area.
00:13:55that we see as necessary for Afghanistan to accelerate its economic
00:13:58growth path, and
00:14:00if
00:14:02the goal is for 10 years, it should be for 5 years, and if it's for 20 years, it should be for 10
00:14:06years. Look, Mr. Moderator, one of the basic
00:14:10factors that we have always centered our discussion around
00:14:13is that we must utilize the resources available in Afghanistan. One
00:14:17of the factors of production, one of the factors that can
00:14:20guarantee economic growth and prosperity in a country, is electricity.
00:14:55It is mountainous, and water flows throughout Afghanistan.
00:14:59Meaning, it exists in a flowing state. We must use this resource.
00:15:02Kunar province itself, if you have looked
00:15:06at the map, is a province that
00:15:09borders both mountains and a river. So,
00:15:13water flows completely through the upper districts of Kunar, and
00:15:17the economic arteries that Kunar province
00:15:21can make water flow and provide. So we can manage
00:15:25these waters that flow freely to neighboring countries every
00:15:29day. We can make Afghanistan's water self-sufficient. We can generate
00:15:32electricity throughout Afghanistan. Secondly, Afghanistan is probably
00:15:36one of the rarest countries in the world
00:15:39where we have almost 300 days of full sunshine
00:15:43in Afghanistan. Correct? 300 days, meaning we have almost 9
00:15:47months of sunshine in this country, and this sunshine should be used
00:15:50for solar electricity and electricity should be provided
00:15:54to companies. And thirdly, we can generate wind
00:15:57electricity. The high mountains that exist in Afghanistan, the mountain ranges that
00:16:01are throughout Afghanistan, if we properly use this wind,
00:16:05it can generate electricity for us.
00:16:09Correct? Finally, one of the main factors that can bring a country
00:16:12to growth and prosperity is electricity. Because Kunar
00:16:16province is a water-rich province, it has water,
00:16:19and there is natural capacity there. This is a very commendable
00:16:22step that the Afghan government is taking its investment in the electricity
00:16:26sector in Kunar province. Because there is both water
00:16:29and natural capacity there. So, in addition to building the power dam,
00:16:33investment should also take place there.
00:16:37Investment leads to production, production
00:16:40leads to job creation. Correct? And job
00:16:44creation leads to the expansion of the local market,
00:16:47and also for agricultural products and manufactured
00:16:51products that are produced in the province, domestic and foreign
00:16:54markets should be considered. Kunar province itself is one of the border
00:16:58provinces with Pakistan. It has a common
00:17:01border. In Kunar province, we have
00:17:04various forms of agricultural products, and all of those capacities
00:17:08should be utilized. The tensions that exist between Afghanistan
00:17:11and Pakistan should be resolved through economic diplomacy
00:17:15so that we can open economic avenues
00:17:19to various countries, including Pakistan, and agricultural products
00:17:23and manufactured products that will be created in the future
00:17:27with the advent of electricity in the province must be exported to Pakistani
00:17:30markets, and in this way, agricultural products
00:17:33from Kunar province, Afghanistan, should also reach domestic
00:17:36Afghan markets, like Kabul province, which is the central
00:17:40city, Herat, Kandahar, or Mazar-i-Sharif. If
00:17:44we can do these things, and at the same time,
00:17:47establish infrastructure in all provinces of Afghanistan, as you said, we can
00:17:51give our economic growth a path. Meaning, we can
00:17:55shorten 10 years to 5 or 7 years, and these projects must be implemented
00:17:59in all provinces of Afghanistan. In addition to this, there are
00:18:02other infrastructures that new towns should be built
00:18:06by the government. Tax exemptions should be considered,
00:18:10investors should be encouraged. These factors collectively lead
00:18:13to us being able to use electricity and electricity
00:18:17resources effectively and efficiently and turn Afghanistan into a productive country and,
00:18:20in the future, an industrial country. Very good point
00:18:24you made. In addition to that,
00:18:27a gas extraction contract in Herat was signed
00:18:31with an international company. Do you think
00:18:34how much of this gas
00:18:37can be a source of electricity and energy
00:18:40in Afghanistan? And how do you see the
00:18:44outlook? How much opportunity is there, and how much
00:18:47is being used, and how should it be used? The opportunities
00:18:51that we are currently using are truly commendable and supportive.
00:18:55It is true that fundamental and basic work,
00:18:58if we don't disregard it, truly fundamental
00:19:01basic work is being done in Afghanistan that, unfortunately,
00:19:05was not utilized in past decades. Among them, Afghanistan
00:19:09has two underground resources: the other is Afghanistan's geopolitical
00:19:13and geo-economic location. Today, the Afghan government is determined
00:19:16to properly utilize Afghanistan's underground
00:19:20resources. If we don't have the capacity
00:19:24to extract resources, it's not a problem. In terms of international
00:19:27trade, we must have good relations with all countries, and we
00:19:31must carefully study and examine which country
00:19:35can cooperate with us in which sector. The fact
00:19:39that yesterday one of the largest, in my opinion,
00:19:43one of the most important contracts for the extraction
00:19:46of oil resources in Afghanistan was signed between the Afghan
00:19:49government and Saudi Arabia, where they will invest
00:19:53approximately 50 billion dollars and
00:19:56extract those oil resources from Afghanistan
00:20:00and make them available to domestic Afghan markets and also
00:20:04export them to various countries and Saudi Arabia
00:20:11that can lead Afghanistan from dependence
00:20:14on regional countries to economic
00:20:18and trade independence. Correct? We must use
00:20:21this issue and these factors that exist in Afghanistan, this underground
00:20:25wealth that God has given us. We must use it properly.
00:20:28Secondly, Afghanistan's geopolitical
00:20:32location is such that Afghanistan should be at the center of attention
00:20:36of regional and global countries, and we can play
00:20:39Afghanistan's connecting role as a crossroads
00:20:42connecting South Asian and Central Asian countries.
00:20:46We can connect South Asia to Central Asia to regional
00:20:50countries like Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan,
00:20:54Turkmenistan. Through that, we can connect to China and
00:20:58through Russia and European countries, similarly, to
00:21:01Iran and Turkey and also connect to
00:21:05European markets. These are the issues that need
00:21:09to be worked on. The actions currently being taken are commendable, but
00:21:12not enough. We need to work more because Afghanistan
00:21:16has unfortunately been plagued by war, destruction, and misery
00:21:20in past decades. Currently, there is new hope that large
00:21:24and infrastructural projects will be implemented in Afghanistan, and the Afghan government
00:21:27is determined that these projects be implemented.
00:21:31If these projects are successfully completed,
00:21:34their mere implementation cannot solve the problem. Rather, we
00:21:38must monitor them, and their sustainability and continuity are very
00:21:41important to us, meaning how much we can protect
00:21:45these projects after that, and how we can maintain
00:21:49them. Correct? If this happens,
00:21:52we see Afghanistan's future with the implementation of these projects as hopeful
00:21:56and good, God willing. As a final question, I
00:21:59ask Mr. Ayyar, a few days ago, Herat officials
00:22:02also said that the TAPI project in Herat will be completed,
00:22:06and through this,
00:22:09Afghanistan will receive a significant amount of gas annually,
00:22:13and also the Herat gas
00:22:16extraction project that was signed with Saudi Aramco.
00:22:43Foreign investors become interested, encouraged, and supported
00:22:47to come to Afghanistan. Something that I also mentioned
00:22:51in another program is that government institutions,
00:22:54plus the private sector, must participate in this company and these
00:22:58projects. Correct? So we must have joint investments.
00:23:02We must demand a greater share for Afghanistan. Correct?
00:23:05What is Afghanistan's share in these projects that are being implemented
00:23:09and these resources that are being extracted from Afghanistan? How many
00:23:12domestic engineers and specialists play a role in the extraction
00:23:16of these resources? How much of the technology that
00:23:20exists in Afghanistan is used for this, and how much
00:23:23is brought entirely from Saudi Arabia? And the investment
00:23:27that comes from Saudi Arabia
00:23:30or other countries into Afghanistan. One thing is a promise
00:23:33that is made, one is interest, one is a
00:23:37contract, and one is real investment. How much they actually
00:23:41invest, for how long, and how much of the domestic
00:23:45markets they cover. Look, the economy
00:23:48itself arises from needs. Trade arises from needs.
00:23:51The primary needs of the people must be considered. Today,
00:23:55one of the primary needs of the people is oil and gas. In Afghanistan,
00:23:59there is gas, oil, diesel. Correct? There is electricity. These are the things
00:24:02we need. Our primary needs are these. The market in general needs
00:24:06this. Factories need it. Companies need it. Finally, all people need this.
00:24:10So, when there is a need, the people's needs must be met,
00:24:14prices must be lowered. Secondly, something we unfortunately
00:24:17suffer from is the lack of employment in Afghanistan, that
00:24:21how much we can provide job opportunities. For example,
00:24:25if the investment is from Saudi Arabia, and the technology
00:24:28is from Saudi Arabia, at least the labor
00:24:31force must be from Afghanistan. Correct? So that we can train
00:24:34these young people there and they work there. And
00:24:38thirdly, the issue is that if we only export raw oil
00:24:41and gas to other countries or to domestic markets,
00:24:45it might not be very effective. We must have oil
00:24:48and gas refineries in Afghanistan.
00:25:06to achieve independence from external sources. To become
00:25:10self-sufficient. Then Afghanistan will become a productive
00:25:14and industrial and exporting country. If these
00:25:17resources that are in Afghanistan, if these capacities that exist
00:25:21are used in a potential shared way, we
00:25:24see Afghanistan's future as hopeful. Again, our request, our message,
00:25:28has always been that existing capacities should be used
00:25:31properly, and projects should be implemented
00:25:35in all 34 provinces of Afghanistan, without regard
00:25:38to ethnic and traditional affiliations. Each province
00:25:42has its own specific underground resources, and those resources
00:25:46should be placed at the disposal of the local community,
00:25:50and we should be able to boost the local economy in the provinces
00:25:53of Afghanistan, and it will also have an impact on GDP and government
00:25:57revenues, which, God willing, is hopeful for both the government
00:26:00and the local people. Thank
00:26:32that after comprehensive discussion and review, the officials of this company
00:26:36were asked to submit their specific proposals to the Inter-Ministerial
00:26:40Committee for Investment for review and decision-making.
00:26:42Mullah Abdul Latif Mansour, Minister of Rural
00:26:49Rehabilitation and Development, met with a number of tribal elders
00:26:52from Takht-e Pol district of Kandahar province and Gulran
00:26:56district of Ghazni province. In this meeting, the tribal elders
00:26:59called for the implementation of water supply projects, road construction,
00:27:03small water dams, and retaining walls in their areas. On the other hand, Mullah
00:27:07Abdul Latif Mansour expressed his willingness to listen to their
00:27:10problems and suggestions, stating that this ministry will address
00:27:14people's problems within the limits
00:27:15of available resources.
00:27:22Naqibullah Ahmadi, the Ambassador of the Islamic Emirate to Malaysia,
00:27:26met with Dato' Abubakar Yusuf, the Executive Chairman of the Foreign
00:27:30Trade Development Authority of that country. In this meeting, the two sides
00:27:33discussed the expansion of bilateral trade relations, the export
00:27:37of Afghan goods to Malaysian markets, investment opportunities
00:27:40in Afghanistan, and mutual participation in trade exhibitions.
00:27:44Mullah
00:27:44Nooruddin Turabi, Director General
00:27:51of the Disaster Preparedness and Response Authority, met with a group of scholars
00:27:55from Wifaqul Madaris of Bangladesh.
00:27:58In this meeting, Mullah Nooruddin Turabi emphasized the importance
00:28:02of unity and cooperation among Muslims of the world and said
00:28:05that Muslims, wherever they live in the world and under any
00:28:09government, must cooperate and interact in various
00:28:13fields. On the other hand, Bangladeshi scholars emphasized
