India and China can be Afghanistan best partner for development of Afghanistan
AHMEDABAD: Gujarat's companies are likely to help improve Afghanistan's economy by entering into joint ventures with them. As Afghanistan moves towards democracy and the country prepares to stand on its own feet, Afghan companies are seeking partnership from Gujarat's companies to set up industries in Afghanistan.
Afghan companies are keen to set up industries in building materials, equipment and are interested in collaborating with companies from Gujarat for executing projects such as like housing, road construction, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure in Afghanistan.
As most products are currently imported in Afghanistan, the country is also interested in setting up plants for food, processing, pharmaceuticals, agricluture, textiles, engineering, electronics, automotive, renewable energy, consumer goods and information and communication technology.

China can indeed be a viable asset to Afghanistan in terms of development. With all the vast recourses found all over the country, i can see a bright afghanistan with cleans streets and tall skyscrapers and happy smiling people.
However this is in the hands of the afghan people to decide whether they want to develop and accept change. Lets hope another civil war doesn't start and plunge Afghanistan into a black plauge.
Saudi to build $100m Islamic centre in Kabul
Kabul, October 30, 2012
Saudi Arabia will build a massive Islamic centre complete with a university and a mosque in Afghanistan, an Afghan minister said yesterday, describing the project as “grand and unique”.
Estimated to cost up to $100 million, the centre on a hilltop in central Kabul will house up to 5,000 students, Dayi-Ul Haq Abed, the acting Haj and religious affairs minister, was quoted as saying in a report in our sister publication, the Gulf Daily News.
It will be named after Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, he added.
The agreement was signed last week in Jeddah. The mosque, similar to the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan, that was also built by Saudi Arabia in 1980s, will hold 15,000 worshippers at a time.
