KABUL, Feb. 20 – Afghanistan Railway Authority (ARA) says the process of shipping goods via the Khwaf-Herat railway line will begin in the first month of the new solar year, which starts on March 20.
Bakht-ur-Rahman Sharafat, the head of ARA says construction of this railway line, which is 62 kilometers long, is underway.
ARA officials had already announced their plans to develop railway lines in different parts of the country with the aim of increasing accessibility for exports to regional countries and to countries further afield.
Economic experts meanwhile have emphasized the importance of railways in Afghanistan, saying that investment in this sector is important and will help reduce unemployment, increase exports, production and domestic revenues.
ARA meanwhile also announced a delegation of officials from Afghanistan and Iran will visit the Khwaf-Herat railway line.
According to ARA, the Ghorian station has been officially handed over to Iran so that they can activate their technical offices and finish work on technical issues regarding the railway.
According to an ARA newsletter, the Iranian delegation has made a written commitment to send the first train carrying goods to Afghanistan before the new year begins.
