Azizi wrote on his official page on the social network X that the purpose of the meeting was to accelerate the operationalisation of major energy plans in the country.<\/p>\n<p>However, the implementation of such projects has so far failed to gain momentum due to restrictions and the Taliban administration&#8217;s management of the energy and economy sectors, and there are concerns about delays in launching infrastructure projects. In addition, the Taliban administration&#8217;s policies limiting private sector activity could lead to the failure of similar efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) is one of the main bodies responsible for the production and distribution of energy in the country and has long faced technical, managerial and funding challenges.
