It was my and OPIC’s pleasure to participate in the Summit, and I found the afternoon roundtable sessions to be a highly effective way of meeting the participants and discussing business opportunities. We are hopeful that a number of business opportunities and investments may result in Afghanistan.

“I have been very active in reconstruction operations and nation building throughout the world, both on behalf of the Federal Government and as a member of the private sector. The unique format of the Afghanistan Reconstruction Summit, where the primary focus is one on one meetings with key vendors, NGO's and members of the Afghanistan National Government, brings value to this venue that I have not seen elsewhere within the sector.
Clearly one of the most valuable of the many conferences I attend.”
