Governors of Afghanistan’s seven administrative zones hold coordination meeting in Kandahar

Governors representing Afghanistan’s seven administrative zones met in Kandahar on Saturday for a regular coordination session focused on security, governance and social issues across the country.

The meeting brought together the governors of Kandahar, Herat, Balkh, Nangarhar, Kunduz, Kabul and Paktia.

Under a decree issued by the leader of the Islamic Emirate, these officials are tasked not only with administering their respective provinces but also with coordinating affairs among provinces within their designated zones.

According to a statement from the Kandahar governor’s office, participants reviewed reports from meetings previously held in different zones and discussed common challenges facing provincial administrations.

The governors also examined measures implemented in various provinces and agreed that successful initiatives could be expanded to other zones where applicable.

The discussions covered a range of issues, including the implementation of decrees and directives issued by the Islamic Emirate’s leadership, efforts to strengthen security, crime prevention, improved coordination between civilian and security institutions, counter-narcotics measures and anti-corruption efforts.

Participants also discussed support for disabled Mujahideen and orphans, assistance for vulnerable families, and ways to accelerate responses to public concerns and requests.

The statement added that several issues raised during the meeting would be referred to the office of the leader of the Islamic Emirate for further guidance and consideration.
