During this meeting, they discussed bilateral relations, economic issues, and investment opportunities.”

Political analysts consider the expansion of Afghanistan’s relations with Arab countries, especially Qatar, crucial for the country’s economic growth.

“Such high-level delegations traveling abroad benefits us because we need to understand the language of the world, learn what they want, how trade is conducted, and how relations are established. Overall, we must figure out how to open this closed door,” Mohammad Nabi Afghan, an economic analyst, told TOLOnews.

“If Afghanistan can attract Qatari investments, it will undoubtedly help in solving economic challenges. Qatar, in general, can assist Afghanistan in various fields, whether diplomatic or economic,” said Abdul Zuhoor Mudaber, an economic analyst.
