Chaired by Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, the commission convened at Marmarin Palace for a routine meeting to deliberate on the presented projects as per the agenda.
Out of the 28 projects brought to the table, contracts for 18 received approval. Contracts for 5 were referred to assigned committees for in-depth assessment, slated to be presented at the next NPC meeting for final approval.
