Int'l conference on Afghanistan tomorrow
Afghanistan will bring together representatives of more than 70 partner countries, international and regional organisations and financial institutions in Kabul tomorrow to deliberate and endorse an Afghan government-led plan for improving development, governance, and stability.
According to a release sent by Afghan embassy in Dhaka, the international conference on Afghanistan will mark the culmination of several months of intensive study and rigorous policy debate on government priorities implemented through national programmes, to deliver on the key goals of economic growth and job creation.
Building on commitments made at the recent international London Conference, tomorrow's conference aims to support a peaceful, stable and prosperous Afghanistan.
Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon are scheduled to open the conference, to be co-chaired by Afghan Foreign Minister Rassoul and UN Special Representative Staffan de Mistura.
The conference marks a new phase in Afghanistan's engagement with the international community, says the release adding that a key goal of the conference is to mobilise international confidence and resources for a new generation of “bankable” national programmes, in accordance with the Afghanistan National Development Strategy and President Karzai's inaugural speech of November 2009.
