India plans to train 20,000-30,000 Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel, including about 500 officers, at facilities around the country over the next three years.

印度计划在未来3年内印度境内为阿富汗培训2-3万阿富汗国民军（ANA）人员，包括大约500军官。

Under a bilateral strategic partnership agreed during President Hamid Karzai's visit to New Delhi in October, India is also likely to provide the ANA with small arms such as locally developed 5.56 mm assault rifles and, possibly, later transfer heavier weaponry such as rocket launchers, light artillery and even retrofitted Soviet T-55 tanks that the Indian Army is retiring.

在双方十月份于阿富汗总统访问印度时签署的战略伙伴关系构架下，印度还会为阿富汗国民军提供轻型武器，比如印度产5.56毫米口径自动步枪，甚至包括重型武器例如火箭发射器，轻型火炮，更有可能包括印度正在退役的苏联时期的T-55坦克.

A consortium of Indian companies has won the right to develop some of Afghanistan's large iron ore deposits, Afghan mining ministry officials say.
印度企业联合体赢得了开发阿富汗大型铁矿的权利

Seven Indian companies, led by the state-owned Steel Authority of India, won a $10.3bn (£6.6bn) deal to mine three sites in central Afghanistan.
7个印度公司，在印度国立Steel Authority of India（印度钢铁总公司）的带领下，赢得了十亿美元的合同去开发阿富汗中部三处大型资源。

A fourth site was awarded to Canada's Kilo Goldmines. All the contracts are due to be signed early next year.

第四个矿业被给与了加拿大的Kilo Goldmines公司。 所有的合同将在明年初签署。

Last month, Afghanistan signed a strategic partnership deal with India.

In a development that correspondents say caused some concern to India's strategic rival Pakistan, the two sides said the aim was to boost trade, security and cultural links.

前一个月，阿富汗刚与印度签署战略伙伴协议。 在很多分析家认为是会引起印度宿敌巴基斯坦紧张的情况下，阿印两国称战略合作的目的是为了提高“贸易，安全， 和文化”方面的合作。

Exploitation of the estimated two billion tonnes of iron ore deposits in Hajigak mine - located in Bamiyan - is expected to begin by 2015.

具体对阿富汗境内拥有2亿吨铁矿资源的 Hajigak矿场开发将在2015年开始。

Officials say that the project has the potential to be Afghanistan's single biggest foreign investment project.

官员们认为这一项目将可能是阿富汗境内最大的外国投资项目。

The Hajigak deposit contains an estimated 1.8 billion tonnes of iron ore, with an iron concentration of 64%, the mines ministry said in a statement. The figures are based on a survey carried out in the 1960s.

Hajigak矿场容有大约1.8 亿吨的铁矿资源，其含量为64%， 根据为1960年代的勘探数据。

ESTIMATED DEPOSITS
Iron: $421bn
Copper: $274bn
Niobium: $81bn
Cobalt: $51bn
Gold: $25bn

The ministry said last year that Afghanistan could be self-sufficient within a decade if its mineral resources - which some estimates have valued as high as $3tn - are properly exploited.

But correspondents say that questions are certain to be asked as to whether investors will want to advance the large sums of cash required to start building mine and rail infrastructure in the country, which at the moment is almost non-existent.

阿国部长认为阿国可以在十年内经济独立，如果它能够把境内3千亿吨的矿藏资源开发。 但是分析家认为最终的疑问依旧是这个国家的宏观结构，基本现在无法为投资提供支援。


Their unease is almost certain to be enhanced given the renewed uncertainty in Afghanistan ahead of the planned withdrawal of most Nato troops from the country by late 2014.

他们的疑问更加会在2014年当北约军队撤离阿富汗后更加明显。

The mines ministry says that Afghanistan has vast reserves of oil, gas, copper, gold and lithium.


阿国部长指出，阿国拥有丰富的石油，天然气，铜，金， 和锂资源。
