“The bulk of the cargo will likely include chemical fertilizers, petroleum products, ferrous metals, hard coal, and similar goods,” said Manturov.
He added that transportation authorities from both Russia and Uzbekistan are working on the railway project.
Currently feasibility studies are being conducted for western routes through Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat, Delaram, and Kandahar, and eastern routes through Termez, Naibabad, Logar, and Khairlachi.
The planned railway line, once completed, will connect the European Union, Russia, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Southeast Asian countries.
