The construction of the Kabul–Bagram Road has commenced

The Deputy PM for Economic Affairs, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, today Thursday, February 12, 2026, inaugurated the commencement of construction works on the Kabul–Bagram Road.

The Deputy PM for Economic Affairs described the Kabul–Bagram Road as one of the key connecting routes of Kabul city and stated that it links Kabul to Parwan and other northern provinces. He added that this road constitutes one of the fundamental transport infrastructures of Kabul New City and is considered significant from the perspectives of urban development, social activities, and economic growth.

Deputy PM Mullah Baradar Akhund stated that, unfortunately, Afghanistan in the past had been divided into numerous political parties and along ethnic, regional, and linguistic lines, which had resulted in the loss of a large portion of national commonalities. According to him, the Islamic Emirate is making serious efforts to resolve these issues by eliminating such meaningless divisions and uniting Afghans under a unified Islamic and national stance in which Afghanistan’s major interests are safeguarded. He noted that a fundamental measure taken in this regard was the unification of the madrasa and school curricula up to the sixth grade by the Islamic Emirate.

The Deputy PM called on all citizens to refrain from blindly imitating others, not to fall under their influence, and not to misinterpret realities. He stated that Afghanistan is the home of Afghans, and everyone can live here in peace, return to their country, and invest here. He added: “We have not prevented anyone, nor is the capacity of the Islamic Emirate so limited that it would treat every individual and minor issue as a serious matter.”

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund also called on countries in the region and the world to engage positively with Afghanistan, noting that such engagement is a necessity of the present time and a key pillar for strengthening regional and international connectivity and pursuing shared development objectives. According to him, ignoring this reality weakens the pursuit and achievement of common fundamental goals and deliberately wastes existing potential opportunities. All countries depend on one another in terms of geographical location, airspace, workforce, raw materials, exports, and imports, and these needs can only be properly fulfilled when countries of the world have the courage to engage within the framework of formal relations, which is in the interest of all.

In conclusion, Deputy PM Mullah Baradar Akhund once again urged countries to make proper use of Afghanistan’s nationwide security, economy-oriented policy, non-interference in the affairs of other countries, strong political and economic will for engagement, and other similar opportunities, and not to attempt to turn the opportunities created into threats.

The Kabul–Bagram Road is 6.2 kilometers long and approximately 50 meters wide, with an estimated cost of 455 million Afghanis, financed by the Islamic Emirate.
