The Ministry of Interior stated that special forces have been assigned to major national and infrastructure projects to ensure their security.
Abdul Matin Qane, the ministry’s spokesperson, emphasized that the Islamic Emirate has taken serious measures to safeguard development projects, particularly in transit and commercial sectors.
"After forty years, Afghanistan is now on the path of progress. There may be countries that do not want this process to continue, but Afghanistan is striving to become a transit hub in Asia and improve its trade and economy," he said.
The spokesperson also highlighted the significance of infrastructure projects, stating that 200 special forces personnel have been deployed to protect the Qosh Tepa project under the order of the Islamic Emirate’s leader.
"The Qosh Tepa project, which is a national project for all of us, has commenced. Alongside its launch, Sheikh Sahib (may Allah protect him) ordered the deployment of 200 special forces to secure the project. We assess projects based on their needs and sign agreements with private companies and investors to ensure their security,” he added.
However, some economic experts believe that while security is crucial for attracting investment, it is not sufficient on its own.
They argue that the Islamic Emirate should provide special incentives and privileges for investors.
"Investment laws in Afghanistan should be simplified, incentive packages should be offered, and the necessary conditions should be provided for investors. These factors include land distribution, electricity supply, and access to raw materials," stated Abdul Naseer Rishita, an economic expert.
Meanwhile, yesterday, the deputy prime minister for economic affairs announced in a meeting in Kabul that Afghanistan is expanding its diplomatic and trade relations with regional countries. He also urged the private sector to invest in various fields.
