Afghanistan’s Minister of Industry and Commerce, Nooruddin Azizi, said the country has become an “investment paradise,” pointing to an improved economic environment and growing opportunities for regional and international businesses, Ariananews.af reports.
During an official visit to India, Azizi held meetings with senior government officials and major private-sector representatives. He said the key outcome of the trip was a strong mutual commitment from Afghan and Indian businesses to deepen cooperation — a momentum that, in his view, will shape future economic relations.
“India’s private sector is genuinely interested in working with Afghanistan. We have cooperated in the past, and today the opportunities are even greater. The potential profits are high, and there is room for establishing large companies across various sectors,” Azizi noted.
He added that improved stability, streamlined administrative procedures, and faster licensing processes have made investment in Afghanistan more predictable and efficient.
India remains one of Afghanistan’s key trading partners, and officials say the visit could revive industrial, trade, and transit cooperation that has slowed in recent years. Analysts believe that expanding interaction between the two countries could pave the way for broader regional development initiatives.
