According to Hamdullah Fitrat, the ambassador of the Islamic Emirate in China mentioned during the meeting that excellent investment opportunities are currently available in Afghanistan, and the support of the Islamic Emirate for traders and investors has increased more than ever before.
The Deputy Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate said: "In the exhibition of this council in November, which is expected to involve nearly 90 countries, the embassy of Afghanistan in Beijing and Afghan traders have been invited."
Meanwhile, the Chamber of Commerce and Investment has described China as a major economic partner of Afghanistan and considered the expansion of trade and economic cooperation between Kabul and Beijing to be influential in the economic growth and development of the country.
"We hope that both the Islamic Emirate and friendly countries, especially China, will provide visa facilities for our businessmen and assist in the transportation of goods so that our people can participate in exhibitions," Khan Jan Alokozay, a member of the ACCI’s board of directors, told TOLOnews.
Meanwhile, economic analysts also said the expansion of economic relations with China and the projects that Chinese businessmen have invested in Afghanistan are beneficial for the country's economic growth.

According to the statistics from the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum, contracts for the extraction of Qashqari oil, Takhar gold, and Aynak copper in Logar have been handed over to Chinese investors, with over one billion dollars invested in these three mines.
