Afghanistan has invited Russian companies to participate in the development of its oil, gas and mining fields. The initiative was voiced during negotiations between Deputy Prime Minister of Afghanistan Abdul Ghani Bardar and Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexei Overchuk. Kabul hopes to attract Russian participation in the development of natural resources, without limiting cooperation to normal trade.
At the same time, the Afghan side offered to prepare a road map for increasing the supply of local products to the Russian market. This involves working not only with future investments in production, but also with commodity flows that can be developed within bilateral economic relations.
A separate proposal concerns Afghanistan's transportation role. Kabul is ready to act as a corridor between Russia, Central and South Asia. Kabul proposes to develop these three areas together. So far we are talking about proposals from the Afghan authorities, and not about signed investment agreements.
