The deputy foreign minister of the Islamic Emirate, Sher Muhammad Abbas Stanikzai, said that the educational and higher education institutions of the Islamic Emirate must provide better opportunities for the education of youth in the country.
Speaking at a book-publishing event, which included the publishing of the Holy Quran, organized by the Ministry of Information and Culture, Stanikzai called the lack of libraries one of the serious challenges the country is facing.
Stanikzai said: “The Islamic Emirate authorities who are responsible, especially the Ministries of Information and Culture, Education and Higher Education, should try to provide a study environment for their people and for their students, so that they can have a book in any section they want to study without any kind of controversy.”
He continued to say that most of the country's books are printed outside of Afghanistan, and more should be printed domestically.
Meanwhile, Hayatullah Muhajir Farahi, the deputy minister of information and culture for publications, said there is a cultural need for books.
Muhajir Farahi said: “The history and past values of a country are kept in a book, and the books record the performance and history of a generation for the future generation."
The deputy foreign minister of the Islamic Emirate also mentioned the role of youth in the development and progress of the society and emphasized that the youth should study more and be interested in study and research.
