Stanikzai calls on Uzbekistan to normalize electricity exports to Afghanistan
Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, deputy foreign minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), has called on Uzbekistan to increase electricity exports to the level agreed between the two countries.
In a phone call with Uzbekistan’s special envoy on Saturday, Stanikzai said that a decline in electricity imports has caused suffering in Kabul and other provinces this winter.
In reply, Uzbekistan’s envoy said that electricity transmission declined due to cold weather and technical issues, according to a statement issued by IEA foreign ministry.
Esmatullah Ergashev said that Uzbekistan increased electricity exports to Afghanistan to some extent, and efforts are ongoing to increase it further.
