‘ADVANCING AFGHAN TRADE’ IN THE NEWS Since launching Advancing Afghan Trade late last year, the project has attracted significant media attention both within the Afghanistan region and abroad. In Afghanistan, the Ariana Television Network (the network with the largest private media channels in Afghanistan covering 33 of 34 provinces), The Kabul Tribune, Khaama Press (one of the largest news and information sources in Afghanistan) and the 8am Newspaper have all covered the project. Business channels have also picked up the story, including Wadsam Afghan Business News Portal, which is woman owned and Afghanistan’s #1 online business news source dedicated to publishing business news. In India, media channels covered a partnership agreement between the Delhi based Centre for WTO Studies (a leading think-tank in the region) and the Afghanistan’s Ministry of Commerce, Industries. We have listed the articles from the above channels at the end of this page. As you will see, the links cover the launch of the project and the first consultation, along with press releases from stakeholder organisations. This will provide you with further context of the project and our progress to date.
