India makes fast move on Afghan resources

Afghanistan is looking for Indian and Chinese investors to help develop giant mineral deposits in the country, officials said.


U.S. defense officials estimated earlier this month that there could be as much as $1 trillion worth of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and lithium in Afghanistan's eastern province of Ghazni.


Subsequently, Afghan Minister of Mines Wahidullah Shahrani met with his Indian counterpart B.K. Handique to discuss exploiting the mineral reserves, Indian newspaper The Hindu reports.
