The agenda centers on fostering private sector growth and addressing drug-related issues to stabilize Afghanistan’s economy.

The discussions aim to tackle pressing concerns, such as the decline in trade relations with neighboring countries like Pakistan and India due to ongoing political tensions. Recent reports highlight that Afghanistan’s economic ties with nations like China and Uzbekistan have strengthened, offering potential avenues for growth.
