As part of the implementation of the agreements reached following the Russian-Uzbek summit and high-level meetings in 2024, the Ministries of Transport of Uzbekistan and the Russian Federation, as well as Uzbekiston Temir Yullari JSC and Russian Railways JSC signed a set of documents on the start of practical implementation of the project.
In 2025, specialized Russian design organizations, together with Uzbek colleagues, will ensure the preparation of sections of the feasibility study of the Trans-Afghan Railway construction project along agreed routes, including in terms of determining the forecast of cargo flows and economic efficiency.
Two routes have been identified: Mazar-I-Sharif - Herat-Dilaram-Kandahar-Chaman and Termez-Naibabad -Logar-Kharlachi.
The first discussion session of the project, involving colleagues from Pakistan Railways and a representative Afghan delegation, will be held within the framework of the Russia-Islamic World Forum in Kazan on May 15-16, 2025.
