KANDAHAR, Afghanistan– With the support of local businesspersons, a drug producing factory has been established in southern Afghanistan’s Kandahar province, head of the pharmaceutical company, Mohammad Sayed Sediq, said.
A total of 50 million U.S. dollars have been invested in the project, Sediq said, adding that, the plant would soon begin production.
