CII has had a longstanding engagement promoting business between India and Afghanistan since 2002. This includes opening an office in Kabul, organizing trade shows, capacity building programs that have trained over 1000 Afghans, and generating self-employment. More recently, CII helped organize the 2012 Delhi Investment Summit and presented recommendations at the Tokyo Conference on Afghanistan that same year. CII also facilitates visits of Afghan ministers and business delegations to key Indian events and leads business delegations from India to Afghanistan to explore opportunities in sectors like agriculture, mining, infrastructure and more. CII has signed MOUs with the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Afghanistan Investment Support Agency to further business ties.
