The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced on Sunday that it will finance a number of infrastructure projects worth 29 million U.S. dollars in Kabul, capital of the war-torn Afghanistan.
The ADFD said that it had signed a deal with a Turkish construction company to carry out the multi-million-dollar projects, according to the official Emirates News Agency.
The projects will include rehabilitation and upgrading of some main roads in Kabul, and construction of a number of bridges, rainwater drainage system and pavement to ensure free flow of traffic, pedestrians and rain water.
