Still, due to insecurity and decades of war it is backward, no one can utilize its resources, these sectors almost decline from many years ago in Afghanistan Besides, it has many raw materials that other countries really want to utilize and make some products from these Materials. On the other hand, it has enough water but due to insecurity situation we do not have any proper water management system; if peace comes, here are mega projects which will be implemented such as TAPI, CASA, and Chabahar port by which we have the connectivity with IRAN,INDIA and other regions, If these vast projects implement in Afghanistan it will have a million dollars revenue per year from its uses, through these projects it can make a strongest respectable diplomatic tie on the regional base, Secondly, Afghanistan will be the economic zone square on Asia, it will be on the top rank on the Asia base, before all the regional countries who want the contribution in these mega projects they must play their role in the current peace talks between Afghan Government and Taliban.
