00:15:22the oil resources that exist in Afghanistan will be
00:15:26extracted by domestic companies and with the help of regional
00:15:30countries, including Iran, and be made available

00:22:34in the presence of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund,

00:22:40Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, officials of the
00:22:44country's chambers of commerce and industry, and local
00:22:47officials. For
00:23:50fame, industrial
00:23:53show.
00:23:55Sir,
00:23:58reporters
00:24:01and there is a problem.
00:25:57The government should provide land for investors
00:26:00and also reduce taxes,
00:26:03electricity, and other facilities. How much has the government
00:26:07been able to provide these facilities for all investors,
00:26:11especially for those who invest in industrial parks?
00:26:14Yes, Mr. Barez, you see,
00:26:18one of the most important issues in investment
00:26:20is the existence of security, which you currently
00:26:24see throughout Afghanistan. There is comprehensive
00:26:26security, and also, some other incentives
00:26:29have been provided by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,
00:28:03for example. Based on this, investors and industrialists
00:28:06try to establish factories to help the people of
00:28:10Afghanistan, because in every sector where we can
00:28:13have production, and our goods,
00:28:16we will achieve self-sufficiency. One benefit will be that our
00:28:20money will stay in Afghanistan.
00:28:22Secondly, job opportunities will be created for our
00:28:26workforce. Another benefit is that we have relations
00:28:30with other countries, or we import from those countries.
00:28:33Our imports will decrease, and we will use our own
00:28:37products. Also, the trade balance deficit, which is currently
00:28:40a large trade deficit, we can reduce it. Therefore,
00:28:44every step taken in the commercial and industrial
00:28:48sectors is very good news. You know that when
00:28:51the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan came to power and established
00:28:55its rule, very strong actions were taken in the
00:28:59areas of trade and industry. You know that previously,
00:29:02with one country, Pakistan, most of our trade was monopolized
00:29:06by Pakistan, and half of our trade was with Pakistan.
00:29:10When they raised political issues, they put pressure on Afghanistan's
00:29:13trade. Now, we see that we have economic relations
00:29:17with many countries. So, even if Pakistan's routes are closed
00:29:21or blocked, it does not have any negative effect or
00:29:25impact on Afghanistan. This is because
00:29:27of the actions of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan that
00:29:31they created alternative routes and are currently doing
00:29:35so to transform Afghanistan from an importing country to an exporting
00:29:38country. These measures that are being taken in the field
00:29:42of electricity, investment in electricity, and the projects
00:29:45undertaken for industrialists mean that, God willing,
00:29:48Mr. Bar, we will gradually move towards
00:29:52becoming an exporting country instead of an importing country.
00:29:55You know that Afghanistan has many resources.
00:29:59You know that in terms of electricity alone,
00:30:02if we look, there are 20,000
00:30:06megawatts of solar
00:30:09thermal electricity capacity. 67,000
00:30:12of wind capacity is available.
00:30:1623,000 megawatts of water capacity is available,
00:30:20and 500,000 of thermal capacity is also available.
00:30:24We also have very extensive oil and gas resources.
00:30:27If investment is made in this, God willing, we will gradually
00:30:31move towards self-sufficiency. And now that the industrial
00:30:34park has been inaugurated, domestic investors will also
00:30:38come, and foreign investors will also come and see,
00:30:41as I said, Afghanistan's market has a very large
00:30:45capacity. And
