NEW DELHI: Rolling out the red carpet for Indian investors, Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani today offered them incentives like personal meetings and palace stays, while giving an assurance that nobody was going to 'shake them down' in the war-ravaged country.
India is already one of the top investors in Afghanistan and has expressed interest in joining the proposed APTT (Afghanistan-Pakistan Trade and Transit Pact). Besides, India has already contributed over $ two billion worth assistance in several social and infrastructure projects in rebuilding of the strife-torn country.
"We see the Indian private sector as a key partner in transforming Afghanistan from an area shadowed by conflict to a hub where goods, ideas, people flow in all directions," Ghani told business leaders here on the last day of his three-day visit.
Ghani, who held comprehensive talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders, also hoped that the construction of the $ 10-billion TAPI gas pipeline project will be completed in the next five years.
