At the request of President Ashraf Ghani I visited Kabul and met with him and some of this team that is seeking to build a new Afghanistan.
While I was very impressed by what I saw, I persuaded President Ghani to do an interview to explain in his own words what his plans, policies and visions are.
President Ghani a former Professor at Johns Hopkins and a World Bank Professional as well as an author of a book entitled, Fixing Failed States has worked hard to develop Afghanistan.
Since much of his research work was on Pakistan, he knows the country and its people very well.
He has a broad vision of the region and is keen to develop Afghanistan and make it once again the “roundabout” of Asia.

Discussion appeals on a purely academic level. Especially bit about mapping of national assets. However., the menace created by the Taliban and Afghanistan's close politico economic ties with India, has created such a huge trust deficit that any engagement with Afghanistan raises suspicions and doubts. Trade deals brokered by financial multi laterals may be the way forward.
