Taliban Official Highlights ‘Safe Investment Environment’ in Afghanistan at China-South Asia Cooperation Meeting
Bilal Karimi, the Taliban’s envoy to China, stated at the seventh China-South Asia Cooperation meeting that, according to him, “due to security stability” and the adoption of economic-focused policies, a suitable environment for investment in Afghanistan has been created.
He emphasized expanding trade, attracting investment, and strengthening regional connectivity among Afghanistan, China, and other neighboring countries, describing Afghanistan as a key regional hub.
The Taliban representative did not provide details on the amount of investment attracted or the existing challenges. This comes despite the Taliban administration remaining unrecognized by many countries over the past four years, with banking restrictions and sanctions continuing to overshadow Afghanistan’s financial interactions.
Experts believe that creating a stable investment environment requires not only security but also legal transparency, investor rights guarantees, and formal banking relations with the global community—issues that remain fundamental challenges in Afghanistan.
