Afghanistan encourages Indian investors

KABUL: (MEP) – Pointing out that nothing happens without taking risk, Afghanistan’s Ambassador to India Shaida Mohammod Abdali on Saturday invited Indian businesses to look at investment opportunities in his country. “Your businesses are most welcome in Afghanistan. Afghan people want you. Afghan businesses want to have joint ventures with India. They see the long term interest of the two countries, the shared benefits and cost effectiveness, the Hindu business line reported.

Afghan law protects them. Definitely you will have some risk. Without risk nothing can happen in life,” the Ambassador said at an address organized by the Press Club of India. The envoy added that the Afghan Government has a special protection unit for investments there. “We always talk about a red carpet in the case of India in terms of businesses and presence. It is because of the cordial and deep relationship that we have,” he added. The invitation comes less than 48 hours before a major international conference on investment opportunities in Afghanistan opens here.
