KABUL (Khaama Press): Acting Minister of Rural Rehabilitation and Development Mohammad Yunus Akhundzada has said during a meeting with the Chinese ambassador in Kabul that the construction of Wakhan road – connecting Afghanistan with China – is in full swing.
He said the construction of the road was important for strengthening the economy of both countries and said that the road will benefit Afghanistan, China and the Central Asian countries.
In the meeting, Chinese ambassador, Zhao Xing, emphasized that his country will continue to cooperate with Afghanistan in the execution of developmental projects.
According to economic experts, the construction of the Wakhan-Xinjiang road will not only reduce transportation costs for traders, but it will also enable traders to transport goods by road without having to wait for flights via the air corridor.
After the takeover of the Islamic Emirate, Afghanistan’s commercial and political relations with China have expanded. Experts believe that China wants to have greater investment in Afghanistan, as it would ensure its economic interests.
