The Afghan embassy in China said, on Thursday, that  Chinese companies are interested in investing in Afghanistan, most notably, its mining infrastructure and the energy sector.

Sayed Mohiuddin Sadat, the acting Afghan ambassador to the Taliban reportedly met with representatives of several major Chinese corporations, including the aluminum company Chinalco, Beijing Engineering Corporation, and a Power China subsidiary.

Delegation members indicated an interest in making investments in Afghanistan's railways, energy, and water sectors as well as its robust mining infrastructure, as per the statement.

The Aynak mine, a copper deposit about 25 miles southeast of Kabul, is where the Afghan-Chinese project will get underway, according to acting Afghan minerals and petroleum minister Shahabuddin Delawar in April.

China shares a 76-kilometer border with Afghanistan; however, China has feared for many years that Afghanistan could become a springboard for terrorists during the US occupation of the country.
