Congratulations Afghanistan! With economic reforms as the forefront of our agenda, we are turning threats into opportunities! https://t.co/dG84ySFvT8

[Diwa Samad @divasamad]

Great news! It is the result of Afghanistan’s enhanced focus on institutionalization and rule of law.  Our focus on ‘doing businesses' may well be the platform that sustain the country’s reform trajectory for the future.

The EU has adopted its first policy on Euro-Asia connectivity. This policy was partly inspired by the needs of the peace process in Afghanistan and if implemented well could help integrate BRI, Chabahar -N/S corridor, New Silk Road and other efforts in support of regional peace.
