Afghanistan's economic situation and the prospects for international cooperation in the country's development were among the major themes discussed at the United Nations Security Council.
The meeting on Afghanistan addressed the country's economic difficulties as well as development needs and possible ways to support the Afghan economy.
In recent years, Afghanistan has faced a range of economic challenges, including reduced international assistance, banking restrictions, unemployment and poverty. Regional trade and private-sector activity are increasingly viewed as important potential drivers of economic recovery.
Sustainable economic development for Afghanistan remains an important part of discussions on the country at the United Nations and other international institutions.
