I'll stick my neck out here and say this would happen within the next 10 years. The enormous mineral wealth in Afghanistan will attract investors in droves. The only spoke in the wheel would be the Taliban. But they'll be taken care of gradually provided Pakistan cooperates.
You can compare with US as well if you like, won't make it true.
Don't compare Turkic countries to Afghanistan please.The purpose of this thread wasnt to let down Pakistan or lead an unrealistic debate. My whole idea with this thread was that i have noticed that Alot have happend in Afghanistan in very little time, maybe in their capital area. I know western countries have also been helping Afghanistan with different development projects. I noticed the pace of development was relative faster then Pakistans development pace. In Pakistan the only thing comming to public light via media is fight between politicians, political parties or corruption news.
Else some powerful economies sorrund Afghanistan, which also have positive effect on Afghanistans economy.
Turkmenistan:
The country possesses the world's fourth-largest reserves of natural gas and substantial oil resources.
Worlds 10 th largest cotton producer.

I partially agree with you about the development work taking place in Afghanistan. I have met with people who went to participate in development work undergoing in Kabul from Punjab, Pakistan. He claimed that he was earning higher income by working in Afghanistan than doing a labour job in Pakistan. He also told me about the state of Turkish workers in much better position and they were all protected by U.S. Army.The purpose of this thread wasnt to let down Pakistan or lead an unrealistic debate.
