(MENAFN- Wadsam) Afghan Ministry of Mines and petroleum have reported about
progress made in discussions on major investment projects worth USD 350
million.

The projects include investment in second phase of Jabal Siraj
cement factory (USD 170 million) and Samangan cement factory (USD 136).

Another upcoming investment project involves the extraction
of marble, talc and travertine which will be implemented in Kunar, Nangarhar
and Parwan.

Abdul Qadeer Mufti, spokesperson for the ministry, said considerable
improvements were made in the projects and the contracts would be signed soon.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI)
have voiced concerns about the lengthy approval process of mining projects

The mining contracts are first submitted to the High
Economic Council and then to the cabinet for approval.
