Czech investment in west Afghanistan plant project

A Czech company is reportedly set to invest US$70m in the establishment of a cement plant in west Afghanistan, according to Afghan local press.

The agreement will be inked in next two months with a Czech firm, according to Sirus Alaf, an Afghan presidential economic adviser. The 1600tpd plant, to be built in the Zenda Jan district, will also aim to attract investment from Afghanistan’s private sector, the report added.

“It will transform the future of Afghanistan especially southwestern zone,” Mr Alaf said.
