The acting Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, advocated for the initiation of infrastructure projects in the country during a meeting with members of the United Nations Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (ACABQ) and representatives of UNAMA.

Muttaqi emphasized that the Islamic Emirate does not want Afghanistan to be long-term dependent on humanitarian aid.

Improving the effectiveness of humanitarian aid was another issue discussed during the meeting.

Shafi Azam, head of Economic Relations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, commented on the meeting, saying: "The discussions concluded that the private sector should be strengthened, purchases should be made domestically, small and medium enterprises should be bolstered, and overall projects should be adapted to create employment opportunities."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said that the purpose of the visit of the UN Advisory Committee delegation to Kabul is to determine the priorities of the Afghan people. This delegation is also scheduled to travel to provinces to assess the needs of the Afghan people.

A number of economic analysts considered the visit of this delegation to Afghanistan important under the current conditions.

"Among the collaborations that can exert pressure, especially on the United States and its allies, one is to recognize Afghan banks like other economic interactions, and to lift them from sanctions," Shabir Bashiri, an economic analyst, told TOLOnews.

Meanwhile, the Chamber of Commerce and Investment said that humanitarian aid globally does not significantly reduce poverty; instead, more attention needs to be paid to infrastructure projects, industry, and support for commerce.

"We ask the international community, if they truly care about the people of Afghanistan and want to facilitate job creation and employment -- the first step must be to officially recognize us so that we can trade with the whole world," said Abdul Basir Turki, another economic analyst.

"The world should advocate that this aid be used in infrastructure projects so that people can access opportunities and stand on their own feet. The thoughts and energy of the people should be utilized so that gradually their mindset can be freed from the idea of living off handouts," said Khan Jan Alokozay, a member of the board of directors of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment.

After the return of the Islamic Emirate in the country, developmental assistance was halted, and the world's focus has been only on humanitarian aid, which has so far not been able to resolve the economic crisis in the country.
