[00:00:01] So far, several mandatory [00:00:05] steps have been completed, [00:00:35] and Turkmenistan will be leaving the Galkynysh field. [00:00:39] After a long journey, it will enter through Afghanistan's [00:00:41] border, [00:00:45] and then pass through the provinces of Herat, Farah, [00:00:47] Nimruz, Helmand, and Kandahar. [00:00:50] Around this [00:00:52] area, there are [00:00:56] approximately 816 kilometers in Afghanistan. [00:01:06] After Kandahar province in Afghanistan, this project will reach [00:01:09] Quetta and Multan cities in Pakistan, and finally [00:01:13] Ghazi. This [00:01:16] project [00:01:17] is [00:01:22] not only a project, but it will transform Afghanistan into an important center [00:01:24] for energy and economy [00:01:28] between Central and South Asia. [00:01:30] Through this, Afghanistan will gain access to transit and natural [00:01:34] gas, employment [00:01:37] opportunities, and basic infrastructure. [00:01:40] Through [00:01:43] this project, Afghanistan will receive approximately [00:01:46] $400 million in transit revenues [00:01:49] annually. [00:01:53] A portion of the gas will also be used for domestic consumption in the country. [00:01:56] In [00:02:02] Herat province, the construction of pipelines and preparation of the route [00:02:05] are underway. [00:02:10] Significant positive changes [00:02:13] are expected in industrial areas, and [00:02:16] gas will also be used in vehicles. If the project is completed [00:02:19] within the stipulated timeframe, [00:02:22] it will be an important tool for economic [00:02:25] change in the energy, industry, [00:02:29] and employment sectors for [00:02:32] Afghanistan. [00:02:33] TAPI [00:02:42] until [00:05:13] now, [00:05:15] it has been a golden [00:05:18] package and an Islamic love. [00:05:58] Transit revenue is not the only means, but by [00:06:02] providing affordable and sustainable [00:06:05] energy, it creates new opportunities [00:06:08] for the country's economic situation. [00:06:12] In industrial areas like Herat, it will increase [00:06:16] production and provide [00:06:19] opportunities for factory [00:06:22] production and private investment. There is also potential for the production of fertilizers and chemical fertilizers. [00:06:26] which is especially important for Afghanistan's [00:06:29] agriculture and industry. [00:06:33] During the construction and subsequent operational [00:06:36] phases of this project, thousands of direct and [00:06:40] indirect employment opportunities will be created. [00:10:10] is considered an economic project. The Ministry of Mines and Petroleum [00:10:14] has taken swift steps [00:10:17] from the beginning of this project until now to ensure the project activities [00:10:20] proceed as planned. [00:12:47] Afghanistan needs the TAPI project for gas. [00:12:51] From every region. [00:15:06] According to economic analysts, for the management of the TAPI gas [00:15:09] project, a standard [00:15:13] mechanism must be established to precisely [00:15:16] regulate consumption, distribution, [00:15:19] and revenues. In the industrial sector, [00:15:22] the country [00:15:25] should increase its production [00:15:27] of electricity, [00:15:29] cement, and other energy-intensive factories. The acceleration [00:15:33] of the project is also important, but it [00:15:37] is crucial to ensure safety standards and the long-term regulation of the pipeline. [00:15:41] If the project, along with [00:15:44] its network and industrial [00:15:47] infrastructure, is implemented, Afghanistan [00:15:50] can reap immense economic [00:15:54] benefits. Along with TAPI, Afghanistan has other [00:15:57] large projects such as railway lines, power, water management, [00:16:01] law, industrial parks, and regional [00:16:05] transit corridors.
