Hamid Karzai Meets Mirwais Azizi to Discuss Energy Sector Projects
Former Afghan president Hamid Karzai met with Mirwais Azizi, a well-known Afghan investor, to discuss new projects in the energy sector. During the meeting, Karzai expressed his support and optimism regarding Azizi’s new investments in electricity and energy.
Karzai said the launch of these projects could play an effective role in improving the country’s economic situation and creating job opportunities for Afghan citizens. He praised these efforts, calling them part of the solution to tackle unemployment and economic stagnation.
The positive response of prominent political figures to private investments in energy comes as the Taliban administration has failed to improve Afghanistan’s economic infrastructure due to the absence of clear development plans. Such private sector initiatives could help mitigate the country’s economic challenges in the absence of a responsible government.
While demand for electricity across Afghanistan, particularly in major cities, continues to rise sharply, the Taliban authorities have taken no effective steps to meet this vital need. In these circumstances, independent investments in the energy sector could serve as an alternative means to alleviate the country’s growing electricity shortages.
