Baradar Urges Global Focus on Afghanistan Development Projects

DID Press: Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban’s acting deputy prime minister for economic affairs, has called on the United Nations and international organizations to focus more of their assistance on development projects in Afghanistan.

While expressing appreciation for humanitarian assistance provided by the United Nations and international agencies, Baradar emphasized that long-term development programs should become a priority to sustainably address the needs of vulnerable communities.
