Afghanistan's raw materials – The race is on | DW Documentary
Afghanistan possesses an invaluable wealth of mineral resources. Following the Taliban’s takeover, Europe and the US are holding back on investment, while other countries are already jostling for access.
China, Russia, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan and India see opportunities for economic investment in Afghanistan. The focus is on raw materials that are important for the global energy, technology and industrial sectors. Some of these countries are establishing contacts in the Afghan capital, Kabul. But the country’s strategic location is also of interest. Europe and the US remain cautious, primarily due to political uncertainties, security risks and legal hurdles.
