Iranian media have reported that an Afghan worker died of gas poisoning inside a well in Tehran.

According to IRIB news agency, the 40-year-old worker entered the 35-meter deep well on Friday morning to help his 30-year-old colleague who had fainted inside the well.

Jalal Malaki, the spokesman of the Tehran Fire Department, said that the firefighters then entered the well and pulled out both the workers.

He said that the 30-year-old man was injured, and the 40-year-old man died.

Malaki added that the cause of the worker's death was most likely gas leakage from the inner layers of the soil.

Officials from the Union of Crude Oil Refining Factories say Afghanistan has reached self-sufficiency in producing diesel fuel by 80 percent.

The union officials stated that the private sector has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the country's crude oil refining field, and this complex is developing day by day.

They added that the crude oil currently being refined in domestic factories is equal to international standards.

“We have 80% of the market. At the moment, 80% of diesel is produced in our country and 20% comes from foreign countries,” said Zabihullah Nazari, deputy of the Union of Crude Oil Refining Factories.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum officials said they are trying to increase the production capacity of Amu Darya oil basin so that all the country's oil needs are met from domestic production.

The ministry officials stated along with the Amu Darya oil basin, they are also trying to attract investment in the Herat oil field to start its extraction.

Economic experts, however, said that if there is an increase in investment in the country's oil sector, along with reducing unemployment, the government's income will also increase significantly.

Tajikistan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sadiq Imami has called for dialogue between the representatives of all political and ethnic forces in Afghanistan to form an inclusive government.

Speaking at the Tajikistan-Russia interparliamentary forum, Imami expressed concern that the activities of terrorist groups and drug trafficking have increased, TASS news agency reported.

"That is why our countries agree that peaceful dialogue aimed at forming an inclusive government with the participation of representatives of all political and ethnic forces of Afghanistan is an important guarantee for this country's transition to peaceful development," he emphasized.

The diplomat also stressed that this country provides food and electricity to its neighbor and has restored the activity of border markets with Afghanistan.

Imami recalled that the negotiation process on the development of the CSTO Targeted Interstate Program on strengthening sections of the Tajik-Afghan border will be completed in 2024.

 "We expect that the implementation of this program, taking into account the technical means and control of equipment and weapons supplied within its framework, will allow to form a new model of border protection management," he concluded.

This comes as the Islamic Emirate claims that the current government in Afghanistan is inclusive.

The Islamic Emirate has also said that there is no terrorist group in Afghanistan and that it is seriously fighting against drugs.
