Uzbekistan, Russia to cooperate in implementing the Trans-Afghan railway project

At the meeting, the parties discussed issues of further expanding cooperation in the implementation of the project for the construction of the Trans-Afghan railway, as well as the development of digital images along the railway line by Roszheldorproject JSC, using artificial satellites to obtain high resolution.

In order to prepare for the above works, the sides agreed on the exchange of technical parameters and cartographic materials between design and research institutes, as well as on the organization of joint work. The parties also calculated the volumes of cargo that can be transported along the Trans-Afghan route in the future and prepared information on the specific "advantages" and "disadvantages" of each route.

According to the agreements reached, in the coming years, it is planned to organize a trilateral video conference with the leadership of the railway administrations of Uzbekistan, Russia and Afghanistan.
