Born in Kabul. After completing his basic and secondary education in Afghanistan, he managed to avoid conscription into the communist army by briefly serving in a local police unit. Thanks to excellent academic results, he received a government scholarship to study abroad and arrived in Czechoslovakia in 1985. Although he initially aimed to study economics, he was placed in an agricultural program. He first completed a Czech language course in Dobruška and then enrolled at the Institute of Tropics and Subtropics at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague.
After graduating as an agricultural engineer, Nadri stayed in the Czech Republic and became involved in business. In 1992, he co-founded a boutique and wholesale shop selling Turkish leather and textiles in Prague’s Dejvice. Over the years, he also ran a university club and a popular pub, employing many foreign students and supporting the immigrant community.
In 2005, he founded the Czech-Afghan Chamber of Commerce to promote economic cooperation between the two countries. He organized a business forum at the Czech Senate that brought Afghan ministers and Czech officials together and resulted in several agreements, including a contract for the delivery of Czech helicopters to Afghanistan and training programs for Afghan military personnel. Despite administrative challenges, including a legal dispute over rental fees at the Senate, he continued his work through a restructured Czech-Slovak-Afghan Chamber.
Throughout his life, Nadri has maintained strong ties with Afghanistan and made several visits, including a final one in July 2021, just before the Taliban returned to power. He continues to live in Prague with his wife and children, contributing to intercultural dialogue and Czech-Afghan relations.
