Trade agreement signed
with Kazakhstan
KABUL (PAN): An agreement was signed on Tuesday between the Afghan
Commerce and Industries Ministry and Kazakhstan' Emergency Situation
Ministry on expanding trade ties between the two countries, an official
said.
Wheat and flour would be imported in large quantity to Afghanistan under
the agreement, Minister of Commerce and Industries Anwar-ul-Haq Ahadi
said. Most of the stuff would be imported by the private sector, he added.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation,
Afghanistan produced 3.2 million tonnes of wheat this year -- two tonnes
less than the annual requirement of the landlocked country.
Kazakhstan was asked to provide 500,000 tonnes of fuels to Afghanistan,
with the visiting minister promising to discuss the demand with the
department concerned, Ahadi said.
Both sides agreed to hold a trade meeting of trade representatives from
the two countries in Kazakhstan next year. Minister of Emergency
Situations Vladimir Carpochbashko said wheat production in his country
was very high. The surplus will be exported to Afghanistan.
Kazakhstan had allocated $50 million for training of Afghan government
officials, he announced. Work is in progress on a railroad between the two
countries.
