Afghanistan’s mining sector continues to attract international attention as Russian investors explore new opportunities in the country’s vast mineral resources.
On Tuesday, Acting Minister of Mines and Petroleum Hedayatullah Badri met with Khan Sergi, head of Russia’s Door Khan Extraction Company and former Head of International Relations in the Russian Parliament, to discuss potential investments in Afghanistan’s jade mines.
Sergi praised Afghanistan’s improving investment climate, stating that the government has created favorable conditions for long-term foreign business ventures. "The environment provided by the Afghan government is conducive to sustainable investment," he said during the meeting.
Minister Badri welcomed the interest from Russian investors, reaffirming the government’s commitment to facilitating foreign investments in line with national mining laws.
This development follows a recent $500 million agreement between Russian investors and an Afghan company to establish a major oil extraction plant, signaling Moscow’s growing economic engagement with Kabul.
As Afghanistan seeks to revitalize its economy through foreign investment, the mining and energy sectors are emerging as key areas of international interest, with Russia playing an increasingly active role.
