Meanwhile, both sides stressed on the continuation of bilateral relations.
Earlier, the minister announced on Sunday that the ministry would announce the bedding process to extract some of the oil and gas blocks in the country.
In the meantime, the ministry said that the Chines private company showed interest in investing in oil and gas in Afghanistan.
