KABUL, Afghanistan, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Afghanistan has indicated it is seeking Australia's involvement in tapping into the Asian country's massive mining potential.
In an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Afghanistan's ambassador to Australia Nasir Andisha said he's planning exploratory meetings to check "if there is a possibility of getting major companies interested," mentioning Australian mining giants BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and "others."
That follows advertising placed by the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in major Australian newspapers earlier this month for "expressions of interest" as Kabul formerly opened a tender process for four large copper and gold concessions.
