After the commencement of the TAPI project in Afghanistan, it is expected that upon its completion, the country’s gas needs will be met, and Afghanistan’s revenues will increase as well.
This project, which holds significant importance at the regional level, will not only provide employment opportunities for over twenty thousand people but also supply the necessary gas to boost industries reliant on this resource.
Abdul Ghafar Nazimi, an expert in economic affairs, stated: “This project will bring multiple benefits to Afghanistan: economic, political, and social. It will lead to an economic revolution in the country.”
Meanwhile, some citizens of the country have praised the launch of the TAPI project and other initiatives in Afghanistan.
Ahmadullah, a resident of Kabul, said: “The inauguration of TAPI is a positive step, but its implementation is crucial because it will help reduce unemployment by creating jobs.”
Alongside the TAPI project, several other projects have also been launched, including the transfer of 500 kilovolts of electricity from Turkmenistan to Pakistan via Afghanistan, the fiber optic connection from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan, and the expansion of the Torghundi port railway.
Sakhi Ahmad Paiman, Deputy of the Chamber of Industries and Mines of Afghanistan, said: “Several economic projects like TAPI, railways, and electricity transfer from Turkmenistan to Pakistan will enhance regional integration and bring about regional security.”
The Ministry of Mines and Petroleum stated that the TAPI project, stretching from the Turkmenistan border to Guzara District in Herat Province, covers a length of 153 kilometers and will be completed in two years.
According to information from the ministry, the cost of the TAPI project up to Herat Province is 600 million dollars, which will be financed by Turkmenistan.
Homayoun Afghan, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum, said: “In Herat, the pipeline is 153 kilometers long, and, God willing, it will be completed in two years. Once completed in Herat, we will have practical access to Turkmenistan’s gas.”
This comes as yesterday the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate stated at the inauguration of the TAPI project’s implementation in Afghanistan that Turkmenistan’s move would strengthen the relations and friendship between the two countries.
