INTERNATIONAL DONORS PRAISE THE UAE’S AID EFFORTS IN AFGHANISTAN

The UAE has been praised for supplying aid directly to those who need it in Afghanistan.

The Assistant Foreign Minister for Security and Military Affairs and UAE's Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Faris Mohammed Ahmed Al Mazroui, attended a donor’s summit in Tokyo this week.

The minister said the Emirates has allocated USD 250 million for aid projects in the country this year alone - 80% has gone towards the construction of new housing units.

Al Mazroui says the country will continue to support Afghanistan, but that is reserves the right to ensure that aid goes where it’s needed most and not through the government.

An issue that topped this week’s agenda was Afghanistan’s high corruption rate and its lack of transparency.
