Afghanistan’s First Mining Exhibition Opens in Kabul

DID Press: The first dedicated mining exhibition in Afghanistan has opened in Kabul, with Abdul Salam Hanafi, the Taliban’s deputy prime minister for administrative affairs, announcing the government’s readiness to facilitate investment in the country’s mining sector.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Hanafi urged domestic and foreign investors to invest in Afghanistan’s mining industry.

He said the Taliban government was prepared to provide the necessary facilities to investors to encourage greater investment in the country’s mining sector.
