[00:01:03] Afghanistan is witnessing a major national [00:01:06] investment towards energy self-sufficiency. [00:01:09] A 100-megawatt power generation [00:01:12] program is a significant part of this. This [00:01:15] program includes five large projects [00:01:18] to produce 83 megawatts of electricity, [00:01:22] among which [00:01:25] the power generation project is included and its implementation [00:01:28] has started. The goal of this investment is not [00:01:32] just to alleviate the [00:01:35] shortage of electricity, but also to provide [00:01:38] for the country's industry, trade, and [00:01:42] production, and to gradually [00:01:44] reduce imports. News has also [00:01:48] been given about the preparation for the purchase and transfer [00:01:52] of necessary technical equipment to Afghanistan for the project's implementation. [00:01:56] While technical assessments for electricity production [00:01:59] from coal are also underway in cooperation with Chinese experts, [00:02:03] if this major program is successfully implemented [00:02:06] in the scheduled phases, it will not only meet Afghanistan's [00:02:10] energy needs to a great extent, but [00:02:13] also create opportunities [00:02:16] for investment, industrial employment, and economic growth. [00:02:18] The Afghanistan Electricity Company [00:02:20] is trying to utilize these opportunities [00:02:24] to provide electricity to every part of Afghanistan. [00:02:27] نقطې له بریښنا څخه برخه منه کړي. [00:07:01] It is not just a power generation project, but [00:07:05] an energy [00:07:06] industry. [00:07:11] The production [00:07:15] sources for this project are water, sun, wind, [00:07:18] and coal. For management, the [00:07:22] project must be managed in clear stages, [00:07:25] i.e., independent technical supervision, transparent [00:07:28] contracts, and strict financial control, so that [00:07:31] a balance is maintained between the quality of investment [00:07:34] and implementation. Priority should be given to projects that [00:07:37] play an important role in the production sector, because industrial centers [00:07:41] of large cities [00:08:43] are being converted [00:08:46] to electricity and electronic [00:08:59] work is being done. There is a need for [00:09:02] a suitable environment, and skilled labor [00:09:06] is needed. And [00:09:09] Afghanistan [00:11:32] On August 2nd, a contract [00:11:36] was signed between the Ministry of Water and Energy [00:11:40] and Azizi Group. Its goal is [00:11:43] three phases [00:11:49] in Afghanistan [00:11:51] of [00:11:59] Azizi Group's 1000 megawatt power related [00:12:03] major practical work has started, with a total [00:12:07] capacity of [00:12:08] 845. [00:12:11] On September 4th of this year, in case of an agreement [00:12:15] with Azizi Group and Chinese Power [00:12:18] company engineers and electricity experts, [00:12:22] after the technical assessment of coal production [00:12:26] in Afghanistan, the practical work [00:12:29] of this project will start for the second time. [00:12:33] It is said that this work is part of the 1000 [00:12:35] megawatt major program. [00:12:39] Hello, [00:13:58] according to economic assessment, Afghanistan needs approximately [00:14:01] کې شاوخوا [00:14:04] in difficult conditions, while the current [00:14:07] production and supply are much less [00:14:10] than the country's needs. [00:14:12] Therefore, [00:14:15] it is an economic necessity. Work should not be limited [00:14:19] to just increasing [00:14:21] electricity production. [00:14:42] Production cannot achieve significant growth without [00:14:46] cheap, sustainable, and reliable electricity. If Afghanistan wants [00:14:50] to shift from an import-based economy to a productive [00:14:53] economy, it needs a strong energy system based [00:14:56] on water, sun, wind, and other domestic sources, [00:14:59] that can meet both domestic consumption and the increasing [00:15:03] needs of industry in the long [00:15:07] run. So it can be said that the main goal of electricity [00:15:11] should not be just to increase megawatts, but [00:15:14] reliable energy, strong industry, increased domestic [00:15:17] production, exports, investment, and sustainable [00:15:20] job opportunities, because cheap and sustainable electricity [00:15:23] is the future of Afghanistan. [00:18:28] So, in conclusion, we can say that the joint production [00:18:31] agreement between Azizi Group and Ranpower Chinese [00:18:34] company this joint [00:18:38] venture is a very important [00:18:41] and specialized step towards Afghanistan's [00:18:44] energy security and sustainability [00:18:47] that focuses [00:18:50] on converting the country's nearly 20 [00:18:54] years of imported energy to self-sufficiency [00:18:58] by utilizing domestic resources. [00:19:01] This will not only strengthen the network infrastructure [00:19:04] but also ensure technical strengthening for frequency [00:19:08] regulation and reduction of losses in the network. [00:19:11] So, with the extraction of natural resources [00:19:15] and continuous security of electricity flows, [00:19:18] it will have a very direct and positive impact on the country's financial [00:19:22] self-sufficiency. The field and technical survey [00:19:25] of two modern devices by Chinese experts [00:19:28] for precise comparison of hybrid systems [00:19:31] and presentation of technical conditions is a unique [00:19:35] development [00:20:08] of Mini [00:20:08] Drozeri. [00:20:14] Bricks are Islamic love. [00:21:20] For the achievements of the Islamic Emirate [00:21:23] لپاره [00:21:27] that have been seen in recent years. [00:23:45] The construction of the second line of the Kabul-Nangarhar road has started, [00:23:48] and [00:24:01] work has started, as well as dozens in Kabul and other cities. [00:25:38] Three residential towns [00:25:41] in Kabul city whose work is ongoing [00:25:45] دي [00:25:49] that produce [00:27:02] construction glue exports. [00:27:05] درلودل. [00:27:14] They have become self-sufficient in this area. [00:29:12] This is the life of the nation, if given the opportunity, [00:29:16] this land and country will be full of [00:29:20] civilization, economy, [00:29:22] knowledge, and justice.

[00:30:10] The Ministry of Refugee and Repatriation Affairs [00:30:13] announced that a tripartite meeting between Iran, the United Nations, [00:30:17] and the Islamic Emirate will be held in the capital [00:30:20] Kabul in the coming period to discuss the situation [00:30:23] of Afghan refugees and the challenges they face. This [00:30:27] came during a meeting with the Minister of Refugee Affairs.
