Mufti Noor Ahmad Noor assured the traders that resolving their problems remains a top priority for the Afghan embassy. He said the mission is actively working to identify practical solutions and to engage with relevant authorities wherever necessary to ease difficulties faced by Afghan businesspersons.
“The concerns of Afghan traders are important, and the embassy will make all possible efforts to address them in a timely manner,” he told the gathering, according to sources familiar with the meeting.
