The Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs expressed his gratitude for the assistance provided by UNAMA to Afghan citizens affected by natural disasters.

During the meeting, the Deputy Head of UNAMA stated that they, in coordination with the Islamic Emirate, would continue their support in Afghanistan. Their assistance includes development and humanitarian aid, providing facilities for returning Afghan refugees, supporting the private sector, promoting small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and facilitating the establishment of small businesses in rural areas through microfinance programs.
