Currently, its construction is underway on the territory of Afghanistan,” the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty continued.
“Speaking about the TAPI gas pipeline project, I would like to place special emphasis on its high social significance. According to experts, the construction of the gas pipeline and related infrastructure systems, new institutions and enterprises will create 12 thousand jobs in Afghanistan, as well as resolve a number of key humanitarian issues in this country,” Hero-Arkadag emphasized.
