Natural resources worth more than $1 trillion are thought to be present in Afghanistan, including copper, rare earths, and natural gas.

However, because of the country’s protracted instability, a large portion of such deposits remain untapped.

Beijing has huge interests in Afghanistan, which is at the centre of a region crucial to China’s Belt and Road Initiative but has not officially recognised the Taliban government there (BRI).

The BRI, which was established by Xi Jinping in 2013, offers money to developing nations so they may develop infrastructure including ports, roads, and bridges.
