DUBAI, United Arab Emirates
Afghanistan's foreign minister is predicting a $10 billion in government spending and outside investment in the coming years in the war-ravaged country.
Zalmai Rassoul made the comments on Tuesday, at the end of the one-day conference in Dubai on investments in Afghanistan.
The meetings brought together representatives from more than 500 companies to look at possible projects such as farming, railways and mining.
No major deals were announced and officials acknowledged that large-scale foreign investment will remain elusive until Taliban militants and others are brought under control.
