Afghanistan’s Finance Ministry and the Swiss government on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Kabul that funds raised by its government will be spent on development projects, and in the technical and humanitarian fields in the country in line with the national budget.

As part of its commitment to Afghanistan, at the Brussels Summit, Switzerland pledged to provide $35 million in aid to Afghanistan on an annual basis.

At the Brussels Summit on Afghanistan in 2016, Switzerland pledged a total amount of $104 million to help Afghanistan meet its challenges facing technical and humanitarian challenges as well as development projects.
