BAZAR: Economic Achievements In 1396 Discussed

Despite ongoing turbulence in the security sector, Afghanistan made major strides in the economic cooperation sphere last year. 

In this time, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Georgia signed the Lapis Lazuli agreement with Afghanistan - sealing a major international trade and transport corridor deal that will connect Afghanistan directly to Europe.

The Lapis Lazuli Corridor will begin in Afghanistan’s northern Aqina port in Faryab province and Torghandi in western Herat province and will run through to Turkmenbashi in Turkmenistan.

The Lapis Lazuli agreement was signed on the sidelines of the RECCA VII Summit in Kabul. 

In the same year, Afghanistan hosted the 3rd Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) in Kabul which was attended by representatives from 40 countries and donors groups. 

SOM delegates discussed mutual commitments made by the international community and Afghanistan at the Brussels Summit. 

In 1396, after years of waiting, work finally started on the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India pipeline project following a ground-breaking ceremony in Herat province in western Afghanistan. 

But, import and export relations between Afghanistan and its neighbors faced some ups and downs during the year. 

In 1396, the commercial and economic relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan deteriorated.  

During the year, Afghan officials held economic talks with Iran and finalized agreements around Chabahar Port. 

Host Zarmina Mohammadi discusses the topic with Tawfiq Dawari, deputy head of Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries.

In a separate discussion Mohammadi discusses the start of work this year on a number of major economic projects with Sayed Masoud a university lecturer. 

In addition, host Mohammadi discusses the issue of deforestation in the country with Rafi Qazizada director General of Natural Resources Management at the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL).
