According to the administration, Sediqullah Khalid, the First Deputy Governor of Da Afghanistan Bank, held talks with Derek Joseph Thiesen, the Executive Vice President of ACGF, and his accompanying delegation about technical cooperation, grants, and ways to enhance the private sector’s access to financial resources.
