He stated that given Afghanistan's foreign-dependent economy in the previous government and the inadequacy of the country's agricultural sector, if foreign aid is not provided, Afghanistan's economic collapse and humanitarian catastrophe are predicted.
Mohseni noted that the people of Afghanistan in the previous government were dependent on the government and international organizations in livelihood.
"If the international community does not help Afghanistan in the current situation, a dark future for the country's economy is conceivable," he concluded.
