Aircraft fuel not imported to Afghanistan since last month: ACCI
Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment (ACCI) says it has been about a month since T1 fuel [aircraft fuel] has not been imported to Afghanistan. The chamber expressed concern, saying that the Islamic Emirate should resolve this issue and should ask Turkmenistan to allow Afghan traders to import the fuel into the country.
ACCI officials added that the oil purchase contract was signed with Turkmenistan and the money was also transferred, but that country does not allow the oil to enter Afghanistan.
IEA’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, meanwhile, said that they have looked at this problem and want the matter to be addressed through the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
According to ACCI officials, not only Turkmenistan does not allow the entry of aircraft fuel, but they also have problems in transporting food, and they want the IEA to share the issue with Turkmenistan to solve it.
