On behalf of the people and the Government of Afghanistan, H.E. Ambassador Dr. Mohabbat expressed his gratitude towards the people and the Government of Japan and JICA who have contributed enormously to Afghanistan’s development, progress, and success. Likewise, Mr. Watanabe thanked Dr. Mohabbat for his kind words and expressed his sincerest wishes to continue the warm and harmonious relations between Afghanistan, Japan, and the JICA.
