The Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs said at a meeting on Wednesday in Kabul that the launch of construction of the Afghanistan section of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project was a great achievement for the country.
Noorullah Noori, who welcomed the launch of the project, said that the pipeline will be important in the economic prosperity of Afghanistan and the region.
Noor stated that the Islamic Emirate has made many efforts for the improvement of Afghanistan’s economy over the past three years, and the people can see its positive results now.
Meanwhile, some participants at the meeting said that TAPI can create jobs for many and will help reduce poverty in the long term.
“This big project strengthens the trust between countries and plays a great role in improving the security of the region because common economic benefits are created, and naturally, countries try to make this project a success,” said one participant.
“I hope that the economic situation of Afghanistan and the Afghan nation will improve day by day and we will witness a prosperous, dignified and victorious Afghanistan,” said another participant.
The TAPI project is a major project that will eventually earn Afghanistan millions of dollars a year.
