The Taliban administration will encourage self-sufficiency and wants international trade and investment, the acting commerce minister said, as Afghanistan faces isolation and suspension of some humanitarian operations over restrictions on women.

"We will start a national self-sufficiency programme, we will encourage all government administrations to use domestic products, we will also try to encourage people through mosques to support our domestic products" Haji Nooruddin Azizi told Reuters. "We will support any item which can help us for self-sufficiency.

Already facing a lack of formal recognition and sanctions hampering the country's banking sector, investors are faced with growing security concerns after attacks on foreign targets in Kabul, claimed by the Islamic State. "We do our best for our businessmen to not come to harm. The attack hasn't had any bad impact, if it happened constantly, yes it might have bad impact," he said, referring to the investment environment.

Follow societal norms son and after a decent period of proving yours and your mullah's intentions, all is possible. Until then don't call us, demonstrate your intentions and we (the rest of the world) will call you.

Good luck with that. Afghanistan is heading towards a self-inflicted abyss. The Taliban will never be a legitimate government of AfghanWomen and Afghans. They are terrorists.

Good luck with that aspiration - how are the girls doing over there in medieval land within the economic and educational spheres ? No so good ehhhh ……… 🤡

Investment for your country? Maybe it should be considered when you start investing in your people. Specifically your women instead of doing everything possible to subjugate them.

abdulhadiawang your RM90m can donate to your pals in Afghanistan.

you cant attract investors in a radical state with retrogressive ideas. Thats a no brainer.

Let's see, who are the friendly countries, except Russia.

Funny way of saying they want the world to impose the most severe sanctions for their cave-man attitudes.

Afghanistan will be fine as long as they don't want to import anything cuz there's not much demand for BS as an export🤷‍♂️

NO .... DON'T FORGET WHAT YOU DO TO WOMEN. Wouldn't bother.

🤡 Imagine investing in a country where your business can be bombed any day and you can't hire women.

Investments. Lulz

Growing poppies is your only hope.

Who wants to invest in a radical Islamic state? You get 10 virgins per 1,000,000 $ 😒

Taliban, 'we need to get rid of foreign influence.' Also Taliban, 'We need foreign money.' Translation: Our real complaint is we weren't in charge then...

China will send you some sandals if you do what your told.

So much hate for the taliban... I say forgive and forget, life’s too short to hold grudges.

No one is investing in terrorists.

China is interested already.

Haha! At least someone in the Taliban has a sense of humor. Who would want to invest in a country that doesn't allow half of its population (women) to participate in any kind of productive activity? Wake up Taliban, drag yourselves out of the 14th century!

i can already see the Club of Deplorables (russia and their ilk) flocking in

How can you be economically self-sufficient and want foreign investment?

Good luck with that

Why don't they leave women alone

So the Talibans evolution through out time&resent history Began life as a terrorist group Then freedom fighters&are now a political party For the government of Afghanistan What of ISISs political points of view is Afghanistan not a Government open to democracy with bipartisanship

Maybe stop enslaving women. Or talk to your buddy Mike Pompeo.

Self-sufficiency and foreign investment? You can't have both

While treating women like dogs... don't think so

Hit up your global H traffickers, cause that's about all that sh*thole has to offer for investment purposes.

Good luck with that, you medieval freakshow.

The $100 billion left behind in weapons and assets wasn’t enough?

Foreign investment this rotten country has nothing to offer except death and mayhem

Taliban's terrorist seeking for support ....Lol after banning Women from working..... Poverty will finish them all.

Is this a joke.
