Russia intends to create employment opportunities in Afghanistan and invest in a wide array of projects, Rustam Khabibullin, the head of the Russian Business Centre in Afghanistan, told Sputnik.
Khabibullin stated that Russian investments have begun to flow into Afghanistan to bolster the development of diverse sectors, including infrastructure, energy, and mining, and drive the country's economic growth.
"The factories, as well as agriculture, including the construction of the Kush-Tape water canal, are of great interest to us. Several of our companies are arranging long- term leases of land plots for agricultural purposes near this canal", Khabibullin said.
He mentioned that Russia is also actively involved in humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan, highlighting that the Muslim Patriotic Charitable Foundation distributed over 250,000 boxes of medicine to help Afghan residents in need last year.
"We are determined to create employment opportunities and entice Russian investors to engage in Afghan projects", Khabibullin added.
