00:08:37and foreign tourists
00:09:42in this province has increased significantly, and
00:09:45a caravan of 70 Russian tourists arrived in Panjshir.

00:09:52thousand domestic tourists and more
00:09:55than 500 foreign
00:09:57tourists have visited
00:10:03Panjshir's natural
00:10:19and historical sites since the beginning
00:10:22of this year.
00:10:57The officials of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan
00:11:01discussed the construction of a 500-kilowatt power
00:11:05transmission line between the two
00:11:08countries.
00:11:10You mentioned the project that Turkmenistan
00:11:14is working on. There are several
00:11:18very important and vital projects
00:11:22that have been planned. One of them is the TAP project,
00:11:55which is Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan.
00:11:58The second is a large regional project
00:12:02that was previously discussed and agreed
00:12:05upon. If you remember its name,
00:12:09it was called TUTAP. This is the TUTAP
00:12:12section that connects Turkmenistan
00:12:16to Mazar. Its first
00:12:19phase has been completed, and its
00:12:22second phase is under construction.
00:12:25It will reach Herat, and the fourth
00:12:28section is the TAP project, which
00:12:32you remember is a very famous project.
00:12:35Fortunately, its work is ongoing.
00:12:39Afghanistan can produce electricity
00:12:43from this project. In this regard,
00:12:46private investment, especially from
00:12:50Aziz Energy Company, is very interested
00:12:53in investing
00:12:56in both electricity generation and electricity
00:12:59transmission from there to
00:13:01Kandahar and central provinces.
00:13:05Therefore, the agreements and understandings
00:13:08with Turkmenistan are very important.
00:13:11With these regional projects,
00:13:14TUTAP and TAP, Afghanistan will,
00:13:18God willing, prove in the region
00:13:21that Afghanistan is not a landlocked country,
00:20:07but an economic crossroads.
00:20:10And electricity is, of course,
00:20:14an electricity trade. Currently, in
00:20:17the international arena, if we connect to
00:20:21Turkmenistan's technical system,
00:20:25which we call synchronization,
00:20:28it means synchronizing
00:20:32the network. This is a very important
00:20:36need. So, you talked
00:20:38about the private
00:20:44sector in Afghanistan. What do you think
00:20:47is the capacity of the Afghan
00:20:50private sector to currently invest
00:20:54in Afghanistan's electricity and meet
00:20:57the needs of the nation?
00:21:01I said that if we talk about the next
00:21:055 to 10 years, especially
00:21:08the next 5 years, Afghanistan needs
00:21:12up to 10,000 megawatts of electricity.
00:21:16Yes, the current networks can absorb
00:21:20up to 5,000 megawatts. The only solution
00:21:23for Afghanistan's self-sufficiency
00:21:27is the private sector. We have
00:21:31experienced more than 100
00:21:34jobs in Afghanistan. Foreigners were here
00:21:38for more than 20 years.
00:21:42They were donors and worked.
00:21:45One of the reasons why we could not
00:21:49achieve self-sufficiency
00:22:20was the presence of foreign
00:22:23companies or banks like the World
00:22:27Bank and the Asian Bank. Because they did not want
00:22:31us to become self-sufficient.
00:22:34We realize now that they did
00:22:38not want us to become self-sufficient.
00:22:41The power lines and switches
00:22:44of the neighbors that we see now,
00:22:48that we were
00:23:20reliant on, it must have been
00:23:24done intentionally, not for technical
00:23:27reasons. We did not work on power
00:23:31generation networks. Therefore,
00:23:35the private sector can work hand
00:23:39in hand with the government to solve
00:23:42the problem of Afghanistan's electricity
00:23:46sector, and even Afghanistan's
00:23:50infrastructure problem, whether it is
00:23:53roads or railways. Therefore, there
00:23:56is potential and resources
00:24:00for power generation from coal, gas,
00:24:04and solar energy. And also, the
00:24:08government is committed to doing this,
00:24:10and investors are currently
00:24:14willing. Well, in this regard,
00:24:17with the current relations that we have
00:25:50with countries, instead of saying
00:25:53that we will achieve self-sufficiency in electricity,
00:25:57we will not buy your electricity
00:26:00and they will not help us
00:26:04in the current electricity sector
00:26:07or in technology or in project
00:26:11implementation, because the equipment
00:26:15must come to Afghanistan and be used.
00:26:18We must reach an understanding
00:26:21and gain trust that if Afghanistan
00:26:25becomes self-sufficient in electricity,
00:26:28a prosperous Afghanistan can be a good
00:26:32economic partner for its neighbors.
00:26:35Second, we can help them
00:26:39in electricity trade. Currently,
00:26:43they are investing. This initial
00:26:47planning must be done better
00:26:50by the government. Is it for the
00:26:54long-term benefit of the private
00:26:57sector that we should go
00:27:01and sign a TAP project with
00:27:04Turkmenistan in such a way that
00:27:08we buy electricity from them for
00:27:11another 20 years, or should we
00:27:15strengthen our private sector
00:27:18and have more and better investment
00:27:22internally? And the power
00:27:25line that Turkmenistan wants to build
00:27:29in Afghanistan should be included
