Anwar - ul Haq Ahadi , Minister of Finance of Afghanistan, called on Iran to establish its goods manufacturing units in Afghanistan due to high demand for Iranian goods in Afghanistan, IRNA reported.
"Iran is an industrial country and can help to boost industrialization of Afghanistan. Therefore producing Iranian goods (inside Afghanistan) would improve the bilateral trade," he said.
