Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: In this meeting, economic and political experts discussed the economic and livelihood situation of the Afghan people and strategies for improving it.
Professor Mohammad Anwar Afshar, an expert on economic issues, said that building trust between the government and the people is one of the most important needs for improving the country's economic situation.
He added that in the first step, mutual trust must be established between the government and the people so that investors can invest with confidence in various sectors, including mines and other economic capacities of the country.
Afshar, referring to Afghanistan's vast potential in the agricultural sector, stated that this sector could be one of the best areas for investment and economic growth.
According to him, if Afghanistan can achieve self-sufficiency in agriculture, a significant part of the country's needs will be met through domestic production.
This economic expert emphasized that for the country's economic growth, the level of domestic production must be increased and serious attention must be paid to the development of the agricultural sector.
He also considered the low level of scientific and cultural awareness to be another fundamental problem of society, and said that a society that is at a low level in terms of science and culture will face serious problems in various sectors, especially production and economic growth.
Afshar emphasized that the government's economy is formed from the economy of the society, and the economy of the society is also formed from the economic situation of families; therefore, if families are economically weak, ultimately the economy of the society and the government will also suffer.
He emphasized the need for small and large investments to strengthen the family institution, adding that the family, as the basic foundation of society, must be strengthened economically.
The economic expert also considered reducing foreign interference in Afghan affairs as an important solution to improve the country's economic, political, and security situation, and said that as long as foreign countries interfere in Afghan affairs, the country will face serious problems in various sectors.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Reza Mobleb, a university professor and expert on international relations, said that without sustainable security, creating a sustainable economy is not possible.
He added that security provides a safe environment and environment for economic activities; however, sustainable security itself depends on solving the fundamental problems of society, and these problems also depend on national unity, solidarity, and cohesion.
Mobleb stated that unity in society will be realized when all segments of the people see themselves as equal and entitled to vital and fundamental rights before the government and rulers.
He called the current security situation in Afghanistan "relative" and said that despite some legal demands from a section of the people, they have refrained from taking ill-considered measures against this unity, understanding the circumstances and maintaining unity and mutual acceptance in society.
The university professor emphasized that in order to maintain and continue unity and social cohesion, it is necessary for the government to consider and examine the demands and demands of different segments of society.
Referring to Afghanistan's economic capacities, the preacher said that the country is geographically in a position that can play an influential role as a transit crossroads of the world and one of the important routes of economic corridors in the region and the world.
He also considered Afghanistan's vast natural resources to be another important economic capacity of the country and emphasized that these opportunities should not remain unused and the Afghan people should once again enter a critical period.
He emphasized peaceful living and cooperation among all segments of society and called for the abandonment of discrimination and prejudice and the strengthening of empathy and brotherhood among people.
The experts present at the program also emphasized the role of the media in increasing the scientific, cultural, and economic awareness of the people, and called for the media to pay more attention to economic issues and provide effective solutions to grow the intellectual and cultural level of the society.
