The organizers extend their sincere gratitude to all respected instructors, distinguished referees, athletes, honored guests, and officials of the Parwan Provincial Sports Directorate for their cooperation, hospitality, dedication, and efforts, all of which contributed greatly to the success of this national championship.
Special appreciation is extended to Ustad Mohammad Jan Miyakhail, the official responsible for the Northern Zone in Parwan Province, for his valuable support, cooperation, and contribution to the successful organization of the event.
We also express our special gratitude and highest respect to WKO Afghanistan CR Shihan Abasin Shinwari for his professional guidance, technical support, leadership, and valuable cooperation in strengthening the technical and professional development of Shinkyokushinkai Karate in Afghanistan.
