April 23, 2018 - The Ministry of Commerce and Industries of Afghanistan issued a Sole Proprietor Business License to an Italian citizen. It is the first time ever that an Italian professional starts a sole proprietorship in Afghanistan. The friendship between Italian and Afghan people and the union of their strong entrepreneurial spirit can contribute significantly to the economic development of Afghanistan, and the issuing of this license, besides spreading optimism for the future of Afghanistan, will encourage other Italian entrepreneurs to invest in Afghanistan and develop partnerships with local businesses.
