The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) opened a sports complex for Afghan police at Hamid Karzai International Airport in capital Kabul yesterday.

In a written statement, the TİKA said an idle building at the airport had been turned into a sports complex that can host up to 80 people. The complex includes a gym, a green area where employees can relax, gymnastic apparatus and a cabin.

Deputy Interior Minister Janan Barakzai and TİKA Central Asia Director Ali Özgün Öztürk attended the opening ceremony. Barikzai praised the two nations' historic friendship and thanked Turkey for its support. Öztürk said Turkey has supported hundreds of projects in developing countries, such as Afghanistan, through TİKA.
