Afghanistan president Mohammad Ashraf Ghani while giving speeches in World Economic Forum has told to audiences,we will win the war against terrorism, and Afghanistan will be a graveyard to terrorists groups, saying terrorism is a joint threats against every countries in the world and it does need joint cooperation and combat to remove the following bloody groups from Afghanistan.

Participants in the world economic forum despite of addressing the economic issues,they have also reviewed insecurity within the world and Afghanistan has been the main focus.

President Ghani has addressed that security condition in Afghanistan will get worst, but we need to have joint cooperation and all the countries of the world should realize that terrorism is joint threats to everyone in this globe, we are flexible Nation and we will win the war, soon after Afghanistan will be the graveyard to terrorism, but the regional dimension is missing in action. Unless all the states in the region realize that this is a common threat and we need to get the rules and we need to cooperate with each other, we will be exacerbating. What cannot be permitted is for states to behave like non-state actors or to sponsor maligned non-state actors, we’re people of resilience, and we will overcome. Afghanistan will be the burying ground of Daesh and all the rest of them. Don’t challenge us.

We have a proverb. “Revenge is sweetest when it takes place 100 years.”

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said,” So we now have 12,000 troops in Afghanistan who advise, train and assist the Afghans. Because in the long run it’s better that the Afghans themselves take care of their own security. We support, but they are in the front line. And actually for over one year now the Afghans have taken responsibility for their own security themselves.”

MR. GHANI said,” Absolutely. Well, the first thing is really to put the citizen front and center. What are her needs? And I’m deliberately picking my gender, right, because as long as we have exclusion of women, we’re not going to get stability. It is imperative to understand that if you are going to have peace and we must have peace, it cannot be at the exclusion of our women.”

In the slide side of the world economic forum President Ghani has visited US defense Minister and European Union foreign policy demanding supports and cooperation fighting terrorism in Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MoIC) says Afghanistan has reached self-sufficiency in 45 sectors and the production of 133 items, and that the ministry is striving to change Afghanistan from an importing country to an exporting one.

The ministry officials said that for this purpose, supporting domestic products and attracting investment is essential.

The ministry’s spokesman Abdul Salam Jawad Akhundzada emphasized increasing the use of domestic goods and products in government and national projects and added that efforts have also begun to find a market for domestic products inside and outside the country.

“We have reached self-sufficiency in 133 items of production, which is 45 sectors, and also we reached the capacity of semi-self-sufficiency in 95 items of production, which is 27 sectors,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Chamber of Industries and Mines (ACIM) says over the past two and a half years, more attention has been paid to the development of domestic production and it is also expanding.

The chamber officials stressed expanding the culture of using domestic products in government projects.

“I think that the government is one of the biggest consumers in the market if it uses domestic products in all its development projects,” said Abdul Nasir Rashtia, a member of ACIM.

Economic experts also said that if the use of domestic products in government projects increases, Afghanistan will quickly move towards economic independence.
