Kabul [Afghanistan], August 11 (ANI): Afghanistan's Water and Energy Minister Ali Ahmad Osmani has said India and the World Bank (WB) have shown interest to invest in the country's Shahtoot water dam project. "The Indian government, based on the aid it has provided, is willing to take part in the construction of this dam. Currently, the negotiations are going on. The World Bank has also shown interest in participating in the construction of water supply facilities, purification systems and rest of the phases. We are now in talks with India and the World Bank in this respect," Tolo News quoted Osmani, as saying.
