Recently, the acting minister of the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum of the Afghan Interim Government said in Kabul that the two Aynak copper mines and the Amu Darya oil exploration, two cooperation projects between Afghanistan and China, will be restarted in the near future. I am looking forward to the restart, and I think it will bring a positive boost to the Afghan economy. These projects were signed during the last Afghan government, and their implementation was interrupted for some reason.Editor/Ma Xue
