The General Directorate of Emirati Companies of Afghanistan said the talks focused on gas transmission and distribution, as well as the use of advanced equipment and technologies. Mansoor stressed that the use of modern technology in gas extraction and distribution is among the company’s priorities.
During the trip, he also met representatives of international companies in addition to TurkmenGas, and emphasized the importance of technical and commercial cooperation, the exchange of expertise and the جذب of investment to upgrade Afghanistan’s gas industry.
According to the report, these meetings created an opportunity to strengthen international relations, introduce investment opportunities and explore areas of joint cooperation in the gas sector.
The TAPI gas pipeline project, which aims to transport Turkmen gas through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India, is one of the most prominent regional energy cooperation initiatives. The development of its infrastructure could play an important role in energy supply and in improving regional economic cooperation.
