Afghanistan Ready For Brussels: Abdullah

Afghan CEO Abdullah Abdullah on Monday said government is ready for the upcoming Brussels summit and that a large percentage of commitments it made in Tokyo and London have been fulfilled.

The Brussels Summit is scheduled to be held in October and will pave the way for the continuity of non-military international aid to Afghanistan for the next four years.

But in order to secure this aid, Afghanistan pledged to meet certain requirements at previous NATO summits.

But some analysts have said government's achievements have not been enough and that government's economic outlook is poor.

National Unity Government Chief Executive (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah said: "We have taken better measures for the Brussels Summit. President [Ashraf Ghani's] sessions indicate that we remain committed to what we have promised to the international community."

"The commitment which was made at Tokyo Summit will end within four years and the commitments which will be made at Brussels Summit will be for another four years," said Ajmal Hamid Finance Ministry spokesman.

Meanwhile, the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI) believes that the Brussels Summit is a good opportunity for Afghanistan to attract more funding.

The Chamber said that the National Unity Government (NUG) must draft effective plans for the investment of international aid.

Improved security and stronger trade ties and economic relations with regional countries must be prioritized by the NUG, said chamber members adding that this will boost the local economy.

"The national development strategy that we made will be assessed at the Brussels Summit including all our commitments,"ACCI executive chief Atiqullah Nasrat said.

Meanwhile a number of economic affairs analysts see the Brussels summit as a positive step in terms of boosting the economy.

"We should step towards a better economy which is depended on national resources and is able to provide employment opportunities. We should also go towards producing our own products in order to improve the economy of Afghanistan," said Azarakhsh Hafizi world economic affairs analyst.

The Brussels summit will be held on October 4 this year and seventy countries will participate. More than thirty international financial institutions will also be there.
