KABUL (SW) – Business community and analysts fear delays in the implementation of mega development projects might risk the entire execution operations for a longer period in Afghanistan.
These concerns about not advancing other major economic projects have grown after the World Bank delayed the TAPI project until the recognition of the Islamic Emirate’s rule.
Shirbaz Kaminzada, head of the Afghanistan Chamber of Industries and Mines, told Salam Wtandar that this would affect other major economic projects as well. He added that large countries and international banks are needed to carry out the TAPI, Casa 1000, Mes Aynak mine exploration and other major economic projects.
The head of Afghanistan’s Chamber of Industries and Mines also considers it impossible to start these projects without recognizing the Islamic Emirate, and says that the solution to this problem is to provide an opportunity for Afghan investors to start working on medium-sized projects. He adds that donors and other countries can be used to advance economic projects.
“I hope the Afghan government and investors will start moving,” said Shirbaz Kaminzada. “Even if the move is 50 or 60 percent successful, it should start. From time to time, we have offered the leaders of the Islamic Emirate that we should start working ourselves.”
However, a number of insiders also call the launch of major economic projects without recognizing the Islamic Emirate problematic.
Javid Momand, an expert on international issues, says that although the Islamic Emirate interacts with many countries, it cannot have diplomatic relations and agreements with other countries and institutions until it is formally recognized. Sign.
“TAPI projects, Casa 1000, Mess Aynak, Silk Road and other projects that we have, there are some problems in this regard globally, because according to the international law and rules, the signatories of the two parties to the agreement or treaty must be independent and recognized countries and have a representative in the United Nations and must respect the charters of this organization only then can such projects begin.”
Khaplwak Zazi, another international affairs expert agrees. “Until the United States recognizes the Afghan government, it will not be possible for other countries to recognize the Islamic Emirate.”
He added that the United States has invested in some global organizations and banks, and that they are committed to American interests. According to him, the Islamic Emirate must convince a number of large countries to start major economic projects.
Officials at the Islamic Emirate have previously said that the TAPI, Mess Aynak and a number of other projects will begin soon.
Experts on economic issues also consider the start of these projects as a big change in the economic situation of the country, which, according to them, will provide jobs for thousands of citizens of the country.
