Abstract

The search for peace and stability in Afghanistan is taking a detour from a narrow security-centric approach to trade and investment, aiming to use the country's resource potential to build its economic viability, sustainability and independence. The New Delhi Investment Summit on 28 June 2012 is a gamble worth taking to ensure that Afghanistan's economic and transit potential becomes its inherent strength to accrue the much-needed economic dividends for itself and the region.
