en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mahmoud Siadat stated that a railway construction agreement has been signed between Kabul and Tehran. Once completed, the project will reduce Afghanistan's dependence on existing export routes and provide it with more direct access to markets in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

Part of the project's financing will be secured through Afghanistan's mineral resources. Afghan private banks had previously announced plans to invest nearly 55 billion Afghanis in the project.

The Ministry of Public Works also described the railway as one of the most important rail corridors connecting the country to regional nations. Mohammad Ashraf Haqshenas, a spokesperson for the ministry, stated that the Herat-Mazar-i-Sharif railway is one of Afghanistan's most vital economic corridors. It will not only connect the country's northern provinces but also link Iran and Turkey with Central Asian nations via Afghanistan, ultimately reaching China.

Economic experts say that if the project is implemented, it could become one of the most significant developments in Afghanistan's transit and transport network. Economic analyst Abdul Ghafar Nezami pointed out that Afghanistan needs to be connected to the regional transport network through major railway infrastructure projects. The completion of the Herat-Mazar-i-Sharif railway will improve access to regional markets and international transit routes while creating extensive employment and investment opportunities for citizens.

The Herat-Mazar-i-Sharif railway will connect Herat in western Afghanistan with Mazar-i-Sharif in the north, paving the way for enhanced connectivity with Iran, Central Asia, and beyond.
