Iranian delegation says Tehran will train the engineers of Afghanistan’s Ministry of Mines and Petroleum in the mining sector.

On Tuesday, the acting minister of mines and petroleum, Hedayatullah Badri, met with the representative of Iran and six mining companies of that country and discussed investing in Afghanistan’s mineral resources.

They have expressed their interest in investing in Afghanistan’s iron, coal and oil mines and have pledged to launch specialized training courses for the engineers of this ministry.

“Iranian investors found Afghanistan’s current situation favorable for investment and expressed their interest in lead mines, oil and gas,” said Homayoun Afghan, a spokesman for the ministry.

Meanwhile, Badri welcomed Iranian traders’ interest in investing in the mining sector of Afghanistan. He assured them that he would cooperate with them to provide an investment environment in accordance with the mining law and procedure.

“In many areas, Afghanistan is suitable for investment and Iran will obtain good benefits as well,” said Abdul Jabbar Safi, head of the Afghanistan Industries Association.

According to experts, however, signing contracts with Iranian companies can develop mining and provide work for many.

Iran is currently Afghanistan’s largest trading partner in the region, and the investment of Iranian companies in the country will lead to the expansion of economic cooperation.

Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Amir Khan Muttaqi has said that regligious scholars should serve all sections of society, both in the religious and worldly spheres, and their actions should be such that people are encouraged towards religion.

Addressing students at the Jaamia Riaz-ul-Uloom in Kabul, Muttaqi also stressed the need for unity.

“You should gather everyone around you. No one should be disappointed in you. No one should be offended by you. No one should run away from you. Why should they run away? You should befriend one who runs away. Why should your friend leave you? You have knowledge. You have a system. You have seen the world. You have experience in dealing with matters. Why should he leave you?” Muttaqi said.

He also said that no one should look at another person as if he is less pious.

Muttaqi also warned that “unwarranted criticism leads to destruction.”

“If a sheep, cow or goat leaves the flock, it is eaten by wolf,” he said.

Ukraine could become EU’s ‘Afghanistan’: Hungarian PM

The war in Ukraine could turn into the European Union’s “Afghanistan,” a grinding and costly engagement with “no way out,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban claimed on Friday.

Speaking to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson at a media event in Dubai, Orbán noted the hundreds of billions of euros in aid the EU has spent helping Ukraine resist Russia’s full-scale invasion, which Moscow launched three years ago this month, Politico reported.

“If President [Donald] Trump is not able to find a solution, that war could become easily an Afghanistan for the European Union,” Orbán said, referring to the United States’ 20-year war in the Central Asian country.

Beginning in 2001 immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks and ending in 2021 with the abrupt withdrawal of U.S. troops, the war in Afghanistan remains the longest American war in history.

“Endless war, endless conflict, no way out of the conflict, eating up energy, human lives, money, everything,” Orbán said, continuing with his comparison. “Destroying the frame of normal life for the European Union. … We are in serious danger.”

Orbán, who is one of the few European leaders to remain friendly with Putin, repeated Kremlin talking points that Russia invaded Ukraine in a bid to stop it from joining NATO.
