Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment (ACCI)'s Acting Chief Executive Officer Mr. Shafiqullah Atayee met with the President of the Precious Stones Association Mr. Aziz Bek and had a discussion about the existing problems implementing exporting procedure of precious stones.
Mr. Aziz Beck mentioned the problems in the exports of precious stones and added that the precious stones export procedure had been finalized three times but was rejected due to the 787 Penal Code recently. He added that one of the major challenges to the export of precious stones is the lack of a legal agreement on the country's mining sector and promised that the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment (ACCI) is committed to coordinate with relevant government agencies to address the problem.
Mr. Atayee said that the ACCI supports the country's standard and technical mining and legal exports of the precious stones. He, furthermore, expressed his concerns over the country's mining exploration and extraction contract awarded to Australia's Fortescue, and said that it has very negative impacts on the country's domestic investment and getting foreign investment.
Mr. Atayee said the ACCI strives to find legal solutions for the existing problems of the exporting precious stones in coordination with all sections of the sector.
