Afghanistan poses itself as investment hub for India

New Delhi, Apr 25 (UNI) To bridge the gap between Central and South Asia, Afghanistan today presented itself as an investment option to India at the 2nd South Asia Renewable Energy Conference here.

''Vast areas of investment are available in our country.

Advantage of the situation should be taken. There is a huge potential for the production of electricity,'' said Afghanistan Ambassador Sayed Makhdoom Raheen.

There is a huge gas reserve in the northern region of Afghanistan that can be utilised, he added.

Speaking to UNI, he said there are huge investment options available in Afghanistan other than the energy sector. ''Take for example the roads. The infrastructure offers a lot of space for potential investors.'' The country has intact sources of energy that can be tapped.

''We would like those to be harnessed. The weather of Kabul is very pretty.'' he added.
