Afghanistan's Taliban-led administration is to sign a contract with a Chinese company to extract oil in the country's north, says acting mining minister

Chinese company National Petroleum Corp signed a contract with Afghanistan's previous, US-backed government in 2012 to extract oil at the Amu Darya basin.

The contract would be signed with Xinjiang Central Asia Petroleum and Gas Co , officials told a news conference in Kabul on Thursday. "The Amu Darya oil contract is an important project between China and Afghanistan," China's ambassador, Wang Yu, told the news conference. The announcement came a day after the Taliban administration said its forces had killed eight Daesh members in raids, including some who were behind an attack last month on a hotel catering to Chinese businessmen in the capital, Kabul.
