Pakistan and Afghanistan are not mere neighbours, we are more than that, we are connected by Muslim bond of brotherhood. ”

My central objective is, turn Afghanistan's location into a greater asset. Central Asia is becoming Afghanistan's major trading partner. The vision of connectivity is really important. ”

My father's mother really had a profound influence on me. She literally began her day with an hour of reading. But the most fundamental impact was education. ”

If I get elected, my government will promote a culture of acceptance and non-violence in the country. ”

When we get peace in Afghanistan, we'll go to New Zealand to learn best practices for raising sheep. We'll go to Switzerland and study hydroelectric projects. ”

Peace is not a luxury. Peace is a necessity. ”
