Work Of TAPI Project Ongoing In Afghanistan, Claims Taliban

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid posted a video on social media network X on Monday and wrote, "The work of the TAPI project is actually going on in Afghanistan."

The officials of the Taliban and Turkmenistan restarted work on the TAPI project on September without the presence of the officials of India and Pakistan.

This project was opened for the second time on Wednesday last week, in the presence of Mullah Hasan Akhund, the Prime Minister of the Taliban, and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, the national leader of Turkmenistan.

The TAPI pipeline is a major regional project that will transport Turkmenistan's gas through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India.

The Taliban said at that time that they support this project and cooperate with the contracted companies of this project in the areas under the control of this group.

The practical work of this project was not implemented due to insecurity in Afghanistan.

This project is one of the largest regional projects, it is 1,821 km long.
