[00:00:38] In Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province, the foundation stone of Imam Shadiqi Balkhi
[00:00:42] Industrial Park was laid on 22,000 jeribs of land.
[00:00:45] The Prime Minister's
[00:00:46] Economic
[00:00:49] Ministry, Ahmadullah Zahid,
[00:00:52] in the presence of
[00:00:56] officials and investors from various countries,
[00:01:00] industrial
[00:01:03] laid the foundation stone of Imam Shadiqi Balkhi Industrial Township in Mazar-e-Sharif, Balkh province.
[00:01:07] This industrial park, which will be built
[00:01:11] on approximately 22,000 jeribs of land,
[00:01:15] is one of the country's
[00:01:18] projects. Mullah Abdul Ghani Beradar Akhund called the inauguration of Imam Shadiqi Balkhi Industrial Park an important step
[00:01:21] for the economic development of the country.
[00:01:25] The Islamic Emirate has provided suitable conditions for domestic investors and
[00:01:28] industrialists to expand production
[00:01:31] and economy.
[00:02:02] On the other hand, Mawlawi Ahmadullah Zahid, Deputy Minister of Industry and Commerce,
[00:02:06] said that the construction of industrial townships is one of the basic needs
[00:02:10] of the country's industrial sector, and with its activation,
[00:02:12] especially in terms of land and
[00:02:16] production, it will improve. Similarly, the
[00:02:20] Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry
[00:02:23] welcomed the inauguration of this industrial park as a development
[00:02:27] for the private sector.
[00:03:17] Meanwhile, Mawlawi Noorullah Abu Idris, Deputy Governor of Balkh Province,
[00:03:20] referring to the strategic location of Balkh, said
[00:03:23] that this province has vast capacities in the fields of trade, industry and
[00:03:27] transit, and Imam Shadiqi Balkhi Industrial Park
[00:03:30] will play an important role in economic growth and
[00:03:34] job creation. At the same time, the head of the Balkh Provincial Chamber of Industries and Mines
[00:03:37] also welcomed the construction of the said park and called it
[00:03:40] support for industrialists.
[00:03:43] He called it
[00:03:45] a suitable
[00:03:50] place for factory activities and attracting investment,
[00:03:53] increasing production and creating
[00:03:57] This
[00:04:17] happens at a time when officials consider it an important opportunity
[00:04:20] for the industrial development and job creation of the country.
[00:04:24] It is hoped
[00:04:25] that
[00:04:29] Balkh province will be
[00:10:10] discussed. Mawlawi Ahmad Jan Bilal, Director General of Emirati Companies,
[00:10:13] met with the Iranian Minister of Oil and Gas to discuss the expansion of cooperation
[00:10:17] in providing oil and gas to Afghanistan, professional
[00:10:20] training, and
[00:10:24] joint exploratory activities.
[00:10:35] The expansion of cooperation between the two countries in the oil and gas sector,
[00:10:39] the provision of needs to Afghanistan, and
[00:10:43] professional and technical education and exploration
[00:10:47] in this field, as well as joint
[00:10:50] and
[00:11:31] mutual cooperation and related
[00:11:35] matters
[00:11:40] were discussed. It was stated that Iran is ready to cooperate with Afghanistan
[00:11:43] in the electricity sector and
[00:11:46] also to provide professional services to Afghan
[00:11:50] technicians
[00:11:52] and to enhance their professional capabilities. At the same time, economic experts
[00:11:58] consider such trips beneficial for meeting the country's
[00:12:01] oil needs, which can affect prices in the
[00:12:05] markets. However, they add that given
[00:12:08] Iran's capacity in this sector, this country should also be used
[00:12:12] for oil extraction inside the country. We
[00:12:16] should see that in the future, the oil
[00:12:18] resources that exist in Afghanistan should be extracted by domestic
[00:12:22] companies and with the help of regional countries,
[00:12:26] including Iran, and be put at the service
[00:12:29] of Afghanistan's domestic markets. We should be able to make full use of the existing
[00:12:33] and potential capacities in Afghanistan, and these
[00:12:37] resources that exist in Afghanistan should always be
[00:12:40] extracted. Refineries should be established in Afghanistan, and we should be
[00:12:43] able to add value to Afghanistan's oil
[00:12:47] and gas and be able to make domestic
[00:12:51] products available to the markets. Officials of Emirati companies add
[00:12:55] that in this meeting, joint technical teams from both
[00:12:58] sides were also introduced to carry out the relevant
[00:13:02] tasks and necessary coordination for the implementation
[00:13:05] of cooperation. The construction of the second lane of the Kabul-Jalalabad highway
[00:13:09] has been underway for a year and is expected
[00:13:13] to be completed in the coming years.
[00:13:16] More news soon. The project,
[00:13:20] which includes
[00:13:24] approximately
[00:13:59] a standard cold storage facility with an investment of one and a half million dollars was put into operation in Herat province.
[00:14:03] According to local officials, this cold storage facility, with an area of 4
[00:14:07] thousand square meters, has a capacity of 3 thousand tons and was established
[00:14:10] for storing fresh fruits and meat. Mohammad Juma Rezaee reports
[00:14:14] from Herat province. The inauguration ceremony of a
[00:14:17] standard cold storage facility with a capacity of 3 thousand
[00:14:20] tons in Herat province was held with the presence of local
[00:14:23] officials of the Islamic Emirate, industrialists, and traders of this province. This
[00:14:27] cold storage facility was established with an investment of one and a half million dollars
[00:14:30] on 4 thousand square meters. This cold storage facility is located
[00:14:34] at Pul Malan, Herat, belonging to Guzara district,
[00:14:37] and has 4 thousand square meters
[00:14:41] of land. The cold storage has a capacity of 3 thousand
[00:14:44] tons for storing fruits and agricultural products.
[00:14:48] Investment in the cold storage sector of agriculture does not yield
[00:14:51] results quickly. It yields results in one or two years. Very few
[00:15:25] cities have them. Let's use them well. I
[00:15:29] ask our respected farmers to use them scientifically.
[00:15:33] At least a 12th-grade student knows
[00:15:36] that the system
[00:15:45] that these scientists have asked God Almighty to bless your harvests.
[00:15:49] We have butchers that
[00:15:53] all of them need
[00:15:55] this. They need cold storage
[00:15:59] so that their goods do not spoil,
[00:16:03] even the meat that we export to the Islamic Republic
[00:16:06] of Iran. We try to make sure that the meat
[00:16:10] does not spoil. On the other hand, the Consul of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Herat said
[00:16:14] at this ceremony that Afghanistan has a suitable environment
[00:16:17] for agricultural production, and Iranian agricultural
[00:16:20] experts will cooperate in this sector.
[00:16:23] Gentlemen who are in charge, like Mr. Bahadori,
[00:16:27] like Mr. Hajid and others, and others,
[00:16:31] try to make this place, as His Excellency
[00:16:34] said, a model.
[00:16:54] The border with Iran and Turkmenistan plays
[00:16:57] an important role in the export of fresh fruit, and
[00:17:00] for the preservation of these products, cold storage is one
[00:17:03] of the essential needs. go.
[00:18:08] Protecting forests
[00:18:09] and
[00:18:16] trees are valuable assets of nature
[00:18:20] that are vital for human
[00:18:22] life, environment, and economic
[00:18:25] development.
[00:18:37] They purify the air and produce oxygen, as well as playing
[00:18:41] a role in climate regulation, soil
[00:18:44] conservation, flood prevention, and
[00:18:46] preventing landslides. In many countries, special attention
[00:19:07] of climate is paid to forest conservation because
[00:19:10] deforestation and the destruction of forests are considered
[00:19:14] to be among the main causes change,
[00:19:17] drought, rising temperatures, and
[00:19:21] environmental pollution. The global balance
[00:19:25] is disrupted,
[00:19:28] rainfall patterns change,
[00:19:31] and the agricultural and livestock sectors are also negatively
[00:19:34] affected. Afghanistan is also
[00:19:56] among the countries that have suffered
[00:19:58] in recent years from the destruction
[00:20:02] of large areas of natural green spaces
[00:20:05] due to logging, drought, fires,
[00:20:07] and illegal exploitation. The continuation
[00:20:11] of this situation not only harms the environment but also negatively
[00:20:15] affects people's lives, economy, and
[00:20:19] future generations. Experts say
[00:20:42] that the protection of trees and forests is not only the responsibility
[00:20:45] of the government but also every
[00:20:49] member of society has a responsibility in this regard. Planting new
[00:20:53] trees, protecting green areas, preventing
[00:20:57] illegal logging, and
[00:21:00] strengthening the culture of environmental protection are steps
[00:21:04] that can protect our
[00:21:07] environment.
[00:21:14] Trees do not only meet today's needs,
[00:21:17] but also guarantee a healthy environment
[00:21:20] for future generations. Let's make an effort
[00:21:24] to protect one tree or to plant one.
[00:21:27] Tomorrow we will have clean air
[00:21:30] and
[00:21:33] nature.
[00:21:35] And Afghanistan
[00:21:38] can be saved with the cooperation of every
[00:21:41] Afghan and a sense of responsibility.
[00:21:44] Report
[00:21:49] stated that one of these attacks occurred
[00:22:13] near the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
[00:22:16] The Turkish Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan, said
[00:22:37] that his country should support
[00:22:41] Saudi Arabia in the war ahead of the trilateral
[00:22:44] defense agreement with Riyadh and Islamabad.
[00:22:48] He added that Saudi Arabia should be
[00:22:52] neutral in the war between
[00:22:53] Iran and America.
[00:22:58] Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National
[00:23:03] Security Council, says that America will be forced to accept
[00:23:06] Tehran's conditions to start negotiations
[00:23:10] with Iran. Tasnim news agency reported that Iran
[00:23:13] has set seven conditions for starting any negotiations
[00:23:16] with America. According to the report, Rezaei said that this
