Afghanistan is welcoming foreign investors—including those from Tatarstan—to invest in its energy and oil and gas industry, promising security for their investments. So said Afghanistan’s Minister of Mining and Petroleum, Hidayatullah Badri, speaking at the 2025 Tatarstan Oil and Gas Chemical Forum.
“Today, I’d like to send a clear message to all investors and industrialists. Our doors are open to you. We invite you—especially representatives from Tatarstan—to invest in the energy sector, and particularly in oil and gas. The Afghan government guarantees security, transparency and long-term opportunities for your capital. We’re eager to tap into Tatarstan’s technological expertise and launch joint projects that will benefit not only our countries but the whole region,” Badri said.
The minister emphasized that Afghanistan has substantial oil and gas reserves, which can meet the country’s own needs and provide export opportunities to neighboring states.
“We recognize that using modern technologies in extraction, processing and transportation of oil and gas will benefit our people and the wider region. Afghanistan has the potential to become an energy corridor and a hub between Central and South Asia,” he added.
