The route of Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan railway track project has been finalized and its joint protocol will be signed in Islamabad on Tuesday.

The route was finalized during a meeting of the trilateral Working Group of the three countries in Islamabad on Monday.

The key objective of this project is to build a missing rail link by connecting Uzbekistan Railways with Pakistan Railways via Termiz- Mazar e Sharif- Logar- Kharlachi route.

The railway project would not only facilitate regional, transit and bilateral trade amongst the three countries but also provide better people-to-people connections to the entire region.

The railway line would support passenger as well as freight services and contribute to regional trade and economic growth.
