00:00:00F-15 fighters were targeted.
00:00:03Iranian media said that this attack on the US
00:00:06airbase was in response to the country's attacks on Iranian
00:00:09oil tankers. This brings us
00:00:12to the end of this hour's news package. See you next time.
00:00:15به این ترتیب رسیدیم به پایان مجموعه خبری این ساعت ها دیدار بعد اللهدار.
00:01:12Ali Reza Beigdeli, said that economic
00:01:16and commercial cooperation between Afghanistan and Iran is expanding.
00:01:20Beigdeli added that the goal of both countries
00:01:23is to increase the trade volume to 10
00:01:27billion dollars, which is currently close to
00:01:32this. What should be done to reach the 1
00:01:36billion dollar trade target between Afghanistan
00:01:39and Iran?
00:01:41Will the 10 billion dollar trade
00:01:44target
00:01:46change the economic equation and make Afghanistan
00:01:49an important regional
00:01:52hub?
00:02:25Trade, economic and investment issues are of strategic
00:02:28importance. Because Afghanistan, as you know better,
00:02:32is a landlocked country, and in order
00:02:36to expand trade and
00:02:40develop transport and transit,
00:02:43we need to use one of our two
00:02:46neighboring countries' seaports
00:02:50for our access to the open waters of the world.
00:02:53And trade by ship and trade
00:02:56by sea
00:02:59is considered a very cheap form of transport
00:03:03and transit. Especially in
00:03:05landlocked countries like Afghanistan,
00:03:09transport and transit costs and the price of transport
00:03:12and transit are very important, meaning they are the first factor
00:03:16in determining the final price
00:03:19of goods in the market
00:03:22of the country. Therefore, strengthening
00:03:24our economic, trade, political, and bilateral investments
00:03:28with the Islamic Republic of Iran
00:03:31can enable us,
00:03:34after our political and economic interactions
00:03:38with our neighboring country Pakistan have stopped,
00:03:41to still have access to the market
00:03:45and the seaports of the Islamic Republic,
00:03:48such as Bandar
00:03:51Abbas and Chabahar port. And
00:03:54this issue, as I mentioned, as a consumer country
00:03:58and as a landlocked country,
00:04:01in terms of transport and transit costs
00:04:05for bringing goods to the markets of Afghanistan
00:04:08for the people, and the cheapness of trade by ship
00:04:11to Afghanistan, can, first of all,
00:04:14have strategic benefits. And
00:04:18as you mentioned at the beginning of the program,
00:04:21the ambassador of the Islamic Republic said that we intend
00:04:24or plan to increase
00:04:28the trade volume between the two neighboring countries to 10 billion dollars.
00:04:31This means that
00:04:35this year and in
00:04:382025, the World Bank has estimated Afghanistan's total trade transactions
00:04:42and imports and exports to be around 13 billion
00:04:46dollars, of which about
00:04:504 billion was with the Islamic
00:04:53Republic of Iran, compared to other countries
00:04:56in the region. And if we can
00:05:00increase Afghanistan's trade volume with the Islamic Republic of Iran to 10
00:05:04billion dollars, this means that
00:05:07a large part or 90
00:05:11or 85% of Afghanistan's total trade.
00:05:19and Afghanistan's economic interactions have the capacity and means to take place through the Islamic Republic of Iran, or to take shape. With the closure of routes with Pakistan, most of Afghanistan's current trade is with Iran, and it carries out exports and imports with Iran through Iran. Now, how big an opportunity is this if this target reaches 10 billion dollars? How big an opportunity is it for Afghanistan?
00:05:22بگیره و یا شکل بگیره بشیری با مسدود شدن راه ها با پاکستان بیشترین
00:05:26تجارت فعلاً افغانستان با ایران داره و از ای را
00:05:30از راه ایران با ایران صادرات و واردات
00:05:33میکنه حالا این چقدر یک فرصت بزرگ است اگر این هدف به
00:05:37۱۰ میلیارد دالر میرسه چقدر یک فرصت بزرگ به افغانستان
00:05:40As I mentioned
00:05:44to you, easy access
00:05:47and facilities for Afghanistan to open
00:05:50waters and its seaports
00:05:53is a strategic opportunity for Afghanistan,
00:05:56both as a landlocked country and as an
00:06:00importing consumer country. Yes,
00:06:03I mentioned to you that the issue of
00:06:07transport and transit costs in Afghanistan is very important.
00:06:10The more we
00:06:13incur high transport
00:06:16and transit costs, the more these
00:06:20costs are added to the final price of goods in the country's markets.
00:06:23Yes, and the price of goods goes up. Yes.
00:06:26And with the rise in prices of goods,
00:06:30the people of Afghanistan have to pay that cost
00:06:34or that difference that results
00:06:37from transport costs imposed on the price of goods. Therefore,
00:06:40having easy access to open waters
00:06:44and seaports is of strategic importance
00:06:48to Afghanistan and is a strategic opportunity. And during this period,
00:06:51after the cessation of our interactions with Pakistan, it was proven
00:06:55that the Islamic Republic of Iran stood by
00:06:59Afghanistan and provided its seaports for Afghanistan's
00:07:03trade, transport, and transit. And in addition to that,
00:07:06the pressure that was supposed to be felt
00:07:10by the closure or cutoff of our access from Karachi
00:07:13port and Gwadar
00:07:17by the markets of Afghanistan, or the shock that the markets
00:07:20of Afghanistan should have seen after the cessation of our interactions
00:07:24with Pakistan, that shock
00:07:26was compensated by Bandar Abbas and Chabahar port.
00:07:30And this compensation and cooperation
00:07:34and our closeness to Chabahar and Bandar
00:07:38Abbas caused that the shock that was supposed
00:07:41to come from Karachi port to the markets of Afghanistan
00:07:44did not happen. We did not witness
00:07:47such a big and huge shock in the markets and in the prices of goods
00:07:50inside Afghanistan in the Afghan market. Yes, this issue caused
00:07:54this cooperation, this
00:07:57اصطلاح نزدیکی سیاسی ما با
00:07:59ایران و این همکاری اقتصادی ایران به لحاظ
00:08:02جیوپلیتیک جغرافیاویی و تجارتی باعث از ای
00:08:06شد که بازارهای افغانستان کمماکان سر جای خود
00:08:09باقی ماند و یک انرشزم و به اصطلاح
00:08:13بی نظمی و بلند رفتن سرسام آور قیمت ها را در
00:08:16بازار شاهد نبودیم در پلوی از من عرض کردم
00:08:19خدمت شما که یک کشور محاد به خوشکه هستیم یک کشور مصرفی
00:08:23هستیم ما شدیداً نیاز داریم
00:08:26بر تعامل با منطقه نه در تقابل با منطقه ما اگر
00:08:29مثل پاکستان با گیریم که با ایران هم در
00:08:33تقابل قرار میگیریم شما
00:08:35میتانید که تغییر تجارت افغانستان به آسیای
00:08:39مرکزی میتانه که شامل بلند رفتن قیمت ها باشد. چرا که
00:08:43عرض کردم خدمتتان که تجارت با کشتی ارزان
00:08:46ترین وسیله است مثلاً یک تن معموله یا یک تن کالا را
00:08:50اگر شما با کشتی انتقال بدین از مسیر بندرعب وارد
00:08:54افغانستان کنین یا از از مقصد که چین
00:08:57باشه تا مبدا که بندر اباز باشد تن ۳۰۰ دالار بله
00:09:01بگونه مثال اگر یک تنه شما از مقصد که چین باشد
00:09:05توسط خط آهن و از مسیر بندر حیرتان و
00:09:09مسیر زمینی وارد افغانستان کنین یک تون کالا قیمت.
00:09:12هزینه ترانسپورت از او از ۵۰۰ دلار یعنی هزینه است این
00:09:16مثال میدانی را دادم که مردم عزیز ما بیشتر
00:09:19بفهمن که اهمیت نزدیکی و
00:09:23داشتن رابطه ایدهال سیاسی خوب با جمهوری
00:09:26اسلامی ایران چقدر مهم هست چقدر بالای
00:09:29قیمت کالا کالاهای روزمره که مردم مصرف
00:09:32میکنن تعامل ما با ایران میتواند تاثیر مثبت داشته ایی
00:09:36تجارت بطوری که سفیر ایران در صحبت
00:09:40های خود گفته بود که
00:09:42گویا به ۱۰ میلیارد دلار خواهد رسید چی فکر میکنین که
00:09:46سود اصلی از این ۱۰ میلیارد دلار تجارت که بلند
00:09:50میشود به نفس کی خواهد بود افغانستان یا ایران سوال
00:09:53به خاطر پرسان میکنم که افغانستان بیشتر
00:09:57کشور وارداتی است
00:09:59خب هر دو طرف سود میبره من از شوک بازار
00:10:03خدمتتان عرض کردم از ورود انارشزم در بازار افغانستان
00:10:07خدمتتان عرض کردم اگر با تواقف شدن
00:10:10دسترسی ما با بندر کراچی.
00:10:13شوک وارد بازار افغانستان به لحاظ قیمت ها می شد انرشزم
00:10:17وارد بازار میشد انحصار و احتکار وارد بازار
00:10:20میشد خب بیشترین زیان و ضرره مردم
00:10:23افغانستان میدید. بله ولی چنین
00:10:27حالت های منفی را ما شاهد نبودیم که در بازار
00:10:31افغانستان رخ داده باشه نه انحصار را شاهد
00:10:34بودیم نه احتکار را شاهد بودیم شوک نارشیزم که
00:10:37همچنان بنابراین درست است افغانستان کسر بیلانس
00:10:41تجارتی از گذشته ها داشته نه حالا یعنی من تا جایی که
00:10:45تاریخ اقتصادی افغانستانو مطالعه میکنم تقریباً حدود از
00:10:48یک قرن به این طرف ای کشور کسر بیلانس تجارتی داشته بله
00:10:52و همیشه وارداتی بوده. وارد کرده
00:10:56بنی های تولیدیش ضعیف بوده و به اصطلاح
00:10:59بیشتر کالاهای تجارتی مختلف ال
00:11:03نوسر دنیا وارد شده شما تاریخ اقتصادی را
00:11:06که یک نظر اجمالی روی از بندازین میبینید
00:11:10در تمامی ادوار تاریخ و دولت های مختلف ما یک
00:11:14کشور وارداتی بودیم از اتحاد شوروی وارد واردات می
00:11:17کردیم قبل از او از سایر کشورهای دیگه
00:11:20دنیا بنابراین همی که
00:11:23حفظ حالت.
00:11:52if we have Central Asia as an option. And if we go
00:11:56towards production and alternative
00:11:58production, meaning investing
00:12:02in the production of what we import, it will take
00:12:05years. It will take years
00:12:08until for example
00:12:12we reach mass production so that
00:12:16domestic needs are met and we can then export
00:12:20the surplus, like China. Perhaps
00:12:23about 40 to 45
00:12:55years. The Chinese lost 45 million people to hunger
00:12:58in one period, and today
00:13:01they are an economic power in the world. So if
00:13:05we go towards domestic foundations, it will also take years.
00:13:09What are the solutions for Afghanistan?
00:13:11How should Afghanistan
00:13:14change from an importing country
00:13:18to an exporting country, and how can we
00:13:22benefit more from this
00:13:25increased trade with Iran,
00:13:28as Mr. Begdeli said? Well,
00:13:31look, Mr. Begdeli is one of
00:13:34the ambassadors of the Islamic Republic who has greatly
00:13:37increased the Islamic Republic's economic,
00:13:41political, and social interactions with Afghanistan.
00:13:44Recently, you have witnessed numerous meetings
00:13:48with officials in Afghanistan, with the Ministry
00:13:51of Mines, with the railway authority,
00:13:55to expand the railway project, railway projects that
00:13:58are planned to be jointly launched by Afghanistan and Iran
00:14:02to Uzbekistan. Meetings with the private sector,
00:14:05with industrialists, with traders, meaning a kind
00:14:08of closeness has been created between Iranian traders,
00:14:12industrialists, and investors and Afghanistan,
00:14:15which was not there in the past. The familiarity,
00:14:19acquaintance, and closeness
00:14:22they have today were not there in the past.
00:14:25And this interaction was created by Mr. Begdeli as an
00:14:29active ambassador in Afghanistan, and he is very much in contact
00:14:32with the masses of people in Afghanistan. That is,
00:14:35never before in history has the Iranian embassy been
00:14:39in such close contact with the masses of people in Afghanistan,
00:14:42and it did not feel close to itself. It always
00:14:45carried out official work through diplomatic
00:14:48channels or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But today you see that the embassy
00:14:52of the Islamic Republic in Kabul meets closely with all segments of the people,
00:14:55especially with economic activists and investors. Different
00:14:59groups of Iranian investors
00:15:02have traveled to Afghanistan during this period
00:15:06more than in any other government. Well, from these relations,
00:15:09the government of Afghanistan and also those
00:15:12who are in power and those who
00:15:16are investors in this Afghanistan should use them
00:15:20so that Afghanistan can turn from an importing country
00:15:23into an exporting one, and
00:15:26we can benefit more from trade with Iran. This issue
00:15:29that our trade capacity
00:15:33and economic interactions with the Islamic Republic will reach up to 10 billion dollars,
00:15:36as the ambassador said, this itself
00:15:40is not limited to bilateral trade. in terms of geopolitics, geography,
00:15:44One of the axes that I have always mentioned in the media is that
00:15:47one of the axes that the current
00:15:49economy of Afghanistan needs is the expansion
00:15:53of bilateral trade. That is,
00:15:56reaching 10 billion dollars in trade between the two countries
00:16:00means that bilateral trade is a very
00:16:04good opportunity embedded in it that Afghanistan.
00:16:16We import from the Islamic Republic, meaning, according to
00:16:20the World Bank report, more than 60%
00:16:23of all transport and transit interactions of Afghanistan
00:16:26have been carried out through the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:16:30For example, we import strategic goods, oil, and gas
00:16:33from Iran. We import food items.
00:17:07If we lose Chabahar, we are a country
00:17:11that does not have access to open waters. If we lose
00:17:14sea trade, if we lose sea trade, it means we lose the cheapest
00:17:18means of trade. Well, do you think US
00:17:22sanctions will have any impact
00:17:25on Afghanistan-Iran trade? US sanctions
00:17:29are oppressive. The sanctions of US allies
00:17:32are oppressive. For 40 years, they have been sanctioning
00:17:36the Islamic Republic, and as you can
00:17:40see, the Islamic Republic became stronger
00:17:43and more prominent. And
00:17:47in the recent war, it was the US
00:17:51and the UK, I mean, Israel and the UK and their allies, who were defeated,
00:17:54not the Islamic Republic. Therefore,
00:17:57Afghanistan, during the last two or three
00:18:01years, during which most of its interactions have been with the Islamic Republic,
00:18:04has shown that the two
00:18:08countries are not worried about the oppressive US sanctions,
00:18:12and they cannot have any effect. And even if they do have an effect,
00:18:15just as the Islamic Republic, with 40 years of US sanctions
00:18:19and its allies,
00:18:21reached a position where it is today one of the regional
00:18:25and global powers and plays a leading role in the political and economic spheres,
00:18:29Afghanistan can also resist these oppressive
00:18:32sanctions and fight them,
00:18:36and ultimately, in this region, we can
00:18:39live alongside Iran, while the US
00:18:43is on the other side of the world. Right now, as I am talking to you,
00:18:47it is night there, it is day there. We cannot
00:18:50get along with a country that is on the other side
00:18:53of the world. It is very far,
00:18:57it is very far from us. But with the Islamic Republic
00:19:01of Iran, we can live together. We are in the same region.
00:19:04We are in a hegemonic region and neighbors.
00:19:08Thank you for also mentioning that trade and
00:19:11political relations with Iran are very important for Afghanistan.
00:19:15Now, the question is exactly here, Mr. Bashiri, which Afghan goods
00:19:19can have more sales in the Iranian market,
00:19:22and on which goods should Afghan traders focus more
00:19:26so that Afghanistan can benefit more? Yes, I
00:19:29mentioned to you a few items that we import
00:19:33from Iran in this discussion.
00:19:35Regarding the increase
00:19:39or reaching the trade capacity of the two countries to 10 billion dollars,
00:19:42it is a very good opportunity to examine
00:19:45the relative advantages of the two countries, especially Afghanistan,
00:19:49which suffers from a trade deficit. The relative advantages
00:19:53of the two countries mean that
00:19:56both countries, and especially Afghanistan,
00:20:00should focus on goods in which they have more potential.
00:20:03Currently, some of our
00:20:06exports to the Islamic Republic include
00:20:10carpets, medicinal plants,
00:20:13and precious and semi-precious stones of Afghanistan,
00:20:17and mostly mineral elements
00:20:20that we export to the Islamic Republic.
00:20:24But mostly this opportunity of 10 billion dollars,
00:20:26I think, the plan to increase our trade
00:20:30to 10 billion dollars, I think, should create an opportunity
00:20:33for us to focus more on areas in which we have
00:20:37a relative advantage over the Islamic Republic of Iran,
00:20:41and investment should be made in that area. I am confident that
00:20:44Afghanistan's exports will increase significantly
00:20:48to the Islamic Republic.
00:21:50As a landlocked country and as a consumer country,
00:21:53it was to our benefit to have a very close
00:21:56political interaction with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:21:59We also saw its economic advantage.
00:22:03If we did not have this close political interaction
00:22:07with the Islamic Republic, today you would see
00:22:10that Central Asia Some countries in Central Asia
00:22:14are doubly landlocked. If Afghanistan
00:22:18is once landlocked, for example, Uzbekistan
00:22:21is twice landlocked. This means
00:22:25that if Uzbekistan or Tajikistan wants to connect
00:22:28to the open waters of the world, it has to pass through two countries.
00:22:32For example, it has to pass through Afghanistan and Iran, or through Afghanistan
00:22:36and Pakistan to connect to the open waters. Therefore, Central
00:22:40Asia itself is confused about accessing open waters, meaning it is an
00:22:44option for Afghanistan's trade, and we
00:22:47have experience in it. I have said many times in my discussions.
00:22:57All our economic and trade interactions were with the Soviet Union. We did not
00:23:00have such an interaction with Iran and Pakistan politically and economically.
00:23:04Therefore, today, access to open
00:23:07waters raises strategic and geopolitical issues,
00:23:11not that we can have an option. I am in favor
00:23:15of various options, but priority should be given to open waters.
00:23:18Thank you, thank you.
00:24:31Their special qualities are severity against
00:24:34the disbelievers and mercy among themselves. Our mujahid forces
00:24:38are the soldiers of Allah who have the most pleasant
00:24:42relationship in the world among them. All
00:24:45of them are heroes of that place. This
00:24:48quality
00:24:53is to fight with high determination and morale against
00:24:56every oppressor. This blessed and great
00:24:59path has directed the anger and wrath of Allah
00:25:02towards the oppressors. That oppressor who was defeated
00:25:06in the face of the world of Islam. Commitment and vitality
00:25:10are not only the military and descriptive
00:25:12qualities of this group, but we also have examples
00:25:16in political and cultural fields. The negotiating team,
00:25:20who after years of negotiations, still defended
00:25:24their position, they are the political pillars
00:25:28of this group. The idea of martyrdom
00:25:32in this group is a sufficient reason
00:25:35for the perfect loyalty and commitment of its mujahideen.
00:25:57That is, a group whose majority of members are engaged in defending
00:26:00their system, cause, and religion.
00:26:35Today, the protection of the Islamic system and the people is manifest in various
00:26:39stages. This is the result of their sacrifices
00:26:42that occupation was broken, and today, due to their sincerity
00:26:46and commitment, they have brought security to the nation. They
00:26:49consider the defense of Islam, the establishment of an Islamic government,
00:26:53and their pains
00:26:56as their responsibility. In the fourth century,
00:26:59the Prophet's Sunnah and mercy
00:27:06after the battle of Ahzab, serving the believing communities,
00:27:09thinking about the liberation of Islamic cities.
00:27:13Only these united forces can
00:27:16heal the wounds. Our
00:27:19united forces have built a foundation
00:27:22of belief, spirit, and ideology
00:27:24for the new generation, to which they will refer.
00:27:28The coming generation will draw inspiration from them, and will follow
00:28:02and did not deviate from their path. These are the
00:28:06united forces of the Islamic Emirate, those who
00:28:10yesterday, with their sacrifice, broke the occupation, and today,
00:28:13with their sincerity and commitment, brought security
00:28:17to the nation.
00:28:19For the sake of their people's happiness and to protect their honor,
00:28:23they have made their tall and young youth
00:28:27a symbol of the mountains and the winds
00:28:29of cities.
00:28:48They move forward under the banner of monotheism. That is why their qualities
00:28:52are united, and in a united manner, they protect
00:28:56the plains and mountains of the country.
00:29:00They have a strong army and are
00:29:13the defense of the Islamic system, those proud and brave
00:29:17people who are very
00:29:20tired
00:29:26They have strong builds and mountains of resilience. That
00:29:29is for
00:29:34the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Interior Affairs,
00:29:38and the special Mujahideen forces related to intelligence,
