[00:03:59] Jahed Hakimi reports that
[00:04:02] the TAPI project and a number of other major economic projects between
[00:04:06] Afghanistan and Turkmenistan were the main topics of
[00:04:08] discussions between officials of the two countries in Herat. Mullah
[00:04:12] Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, the Deputy Economic Affairs Minister, in a
[00:04:15] meeting with Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov,
[00:04:18] the national leader of Turkmenistan, agreed on accelerating the remaining work of the
[00:04:22] TAPI project, as well as on the price of gas and the establishment of
[00:04:25] a gas distribution network in Herat province.
[00:04:29] He emphasized this.
[00:04:38] In Herat province, the work on the TAPI project is progressing well, and
[00:04:42] it is hoped that the remaining work
[00:04:46] will be completed. The Deputy met with the national leader of Turkmenistan
[00:04:50] and both countries agreed
[00:04:52] on the gas price.
[00:04:56] The gas price in the European markets.
[00:05:13] Both sides will jointly work
[00:05:17] to
[00:05:21] facilitate Afghanistan's
[00:05:23] transit
[00:05:26] of oil and resolve existing problems in the Lapis Lazuli route. Experts
[00:05:29] in
[00:05:32] the field of economics and energy.
[00:05:35] The region
[00:05:42] will become an energy hub, but timely completion of the project and resolution of
[00:05:45] technical, legal, and financial issues
[00:05:49] are important for achieving this
[00:05:52] goal. We can expedite the implementation of
[00:05:56] the TAPI project in Afghanistan through this discussion, and it will also provide
[00:06:00] us with some liquidity facilities, including the ability to purchase
[00:06:03] gas at a low price. At the same time, we can earn
[00:06:07] 500 million dollars annually in transit fees
[00:06:11] from this pipeline. Therefore, this meeting and discussions
[00:06:15] and negotiations between the economic and political entities of the two
[00:06:18] countries can benefit the economy and politics of both countries.
[00:06:22] This is one of the projects that, in addition to its economic benefits,
[00:06:25] also contributes to employment and enhancing the regional
[00:06:29] status. The issue of income is also very important, and we can earn
[00:06:32] a large amount of money annually,
[00:06:36] approximately 400 million dollars, solely through transit.
[00:06:39] In the end, both sides agreed to establish a joint technical
[00:06:43] committee to follow up on the TAPI
[00:06:46] project, fiber optic, and railway line.
[00:06:50] This action can increase coordination between
[00:06:53] the two countries in the process of implementing these
[00:06:57] projects.
[00:06:57] A memorandum of understanding
[00:07:01] for the lease of the gas network in Herat was signed between officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and
[00:07:05] Turkmenistan. In this meeting, the Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs
[00:07:09] and the national leader of Turkmenistan were also present. According to them, the practical
[00:07:13] work for the establishment of the gas network in the industrial town and city of
[00:07:16] Herat will begin by TurkmenGas in cooperation with the private sector.
[00:07:20] According to officials, with the start of the gas pipeline work, thousands
[00:07:24] of job opportunities will be provided. Mohammad
[00:07:27] Juma Rezaee reports.
[00:07:31] The signing of the memorandum of understanding for the establishment of the TAPI
[00:07:34] gas network between officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan took place in the

[00:08:12] The network project will be distributed in Herat city
[00:08:15] for the distribution of gas in Herat
[00:08:19] city, and we are also trying to deliver gas to industrial
[00:08:22] parks so that we can use gas for
[00:08:25] energy production in industrial parks. All topics related to
[00:08:29] converting gas to LPG and CNG, as well as
[00:08:33] electricity generation from TAPI gas,
[00:08:36] were discussed and reviewed,
[00:08:39] and progress has been made.
[00:09:20] Since planning and design are most important, the practical work will begin immediately,
[00:09:24] God willing. By the end of this
[00:09:27] calendar year, the TAPI project will be 100% complete and handed over to Herat,
[00:09:31] and the responsibility of its distribution will fall on us. On the other hand, officials
[00:09:34] from Turkmenistan say that they have been working on the TAPI project
[00:09:38] around the clock, and so far, about
[00:09:41] 120.

[00:10:43] rule, alongside other educational centers,

[00:10:50] began.

[00:11:30] in serving the Islamic system were effective
[00:11:34] and they added that the activities of the jihadist schools were
[00:11:38] effective and they added that the Islamic Emirate is committed to the development
[00:11:41] of modern and religious education.

[00:11:47] any effort to support
[00:11:50] educational sectors with its
[00:11:53] resources. In this meeting, the attending scholars shared

[00:12:45] through their struggles and sacrifices, conquered Baghlan province
[00:12:49] and raised the flag of the Islamic Emirate throughout the province.
[00:12:52] It is also worth noting that
[00:13:55] this is the beginning of the ninth phase.
[00:13:58] After the blessings of Allah,
[00:14:01] the progress
[00:14:05] continues. Meanwhile,
[00:14:07] 5 years ago.
[00:14:11] The people are now at peace,
[00:14:55] and killing and bloodshed have completely disappeared from Baghlan province,
[00:14:58] especially from all of Afghanistan. History bears witness that this
[00:15:02] country has been subjected to invaders many times, but
[00:15:06] the free people of Afghanistan resisted and fought
[00:15:09] at the cost of their blood, and inflicted a shameful defeat
[00:15:12] on the invaders from the country.
[00:15:15] August 24, the day of victory, is a clear example of how the
[00:15:19] Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the country
[00:15:23] and achieved heroism. They liberated Afghanistan from the grip of the
[00:15:27] American occupation and its allies on August 24,
[00:15:30] opening a new chapter in the country's history.

[00:16:15] this ministry, at the inauguration ceremony of this company, emphasized
[00:16:19] strengthening and improving the level of domestic products by the Islamic
[00:16:22] Emirate and said that
[00:16:25] unity and common thought and action
[00:16:28] also lead to industrial growth.
[00:16:31] We have our own domestic products in Afghanistan.
[00:16:35] They say that currently, about
[00:17:37] 18 drug manufacturing plants are operating regularly
[00:17:41] in this industrial park, and the products of some of these
[00:17:44] factories are even exported abroad.
[00:17:48] The factories in Herat are very
[00:17:51] standard factories and have good factories.
[00:17:55] We have seen that all
[00:17:59] the places we have seen meet international standards.
[00:18:02] And we went to Uzbekistan a few days ago.
[00:18:06] Our factories from the perspective
[00:18:09] of construction
[00:18:12] and quality and
[00:18:15] good production are not found in many
[00:18:18] countries. However, the officials of this company state the cost of establishing
[00:18:22] this factory as 30 million dollars and emphasize that
[00:18:26] this factory currently has a capacity of 300
[00:18:29] types of medicine. It was established at a cost
[00:18:33] of 30 million US dollars.
[00:18:36] Today, we inaugurated the first phase worth 15 million
[00:18:40] US dollars, and today, God willing, the second phase,
[00:18:43] worth another 15 million US dollars, will be laid.
[00:18:47] The total area of our company
[00:18:50] is 15,000 square meters,
[00:18:53] and our infrastructure is 300 square
[00:18:56] meters. It should be noted that the first
[00:18:59] phase of this factory started production activities with an investment
[00:19:03] of 15 million dollars, and the foundation stone for the second
[00:19:06] phase was also laid with the same amount of
[00:19:10] investment. Residents of Kabul
[00:19:14] say that the city is facing increased power outages during the summer season,
[00:19:17] which has caused them many problems. According to
[00:19:21] them, not only have power outages increased, but electricity is also cut irregularly,
[00:19:25] and they cannot easily meet their needs.
[00:19:28] Meanwhile, Breshna Company acknowledges this problem faced by Kabul residents
[00:19:32] but says that the population in the capital is high and electricity is
[00:19:36] scarce, which leads to
[00:21:22] This is while Afghanistan currently imports 80% of its
[00:21:26] electricity needs and produces only 20% of its
[00:21:29] electricity needs domestically. Hopes are high
[00:21:33] that with the implementation of agreements on investing in electricity production
[00:21:37] inside the country, Afghanistan will achieve self-sufficiency
[00:21:40] in electricity production. Welcome back to the news. Afghan migrants.
[00:21:44] Pakistani officials say that the process of inspection and arrest of Afghan migrants by
[00:21:48] the Pakistani police has intensified compared to the past,
[00:21:52] and the validity of visas for Afghan officials has not yet been extended.

[00:21:59] the situation of Afghan migrants and
