“In country after country in the world where they’ve started to try and develop their natural resources… the capacity of those countries was not up to par with the capacity of the of the companies that are negotiating these contracts… if there was one thing that I could dream about, it would be to provide technical support… to negotiate better contracts both on the economic side but also on the environmental implications of these contracts… to be much more beneficial to all Afghans.”
