The Afghanistan Railway Authority announced the creation of railway lines between Spin Boldak-Kandahar, Andkhoy-Mazar-e-Sharif, and Sheberghan-Mazar-e-Sharif to be undertaken in the near future.

Abdul Sami Durani, the spokesperson for the Afghanistan Railway Authority, said that currently, about 230 kilometers of railway are active across Afghanistan, and daily transfers are made to various countries through these routes.

The railway spokesperson said: "Three projects are under our supervision, one of which is the first part of the fourth phase of the Khaf-Herat railway project, which has physically progressed about 60%, alongside the work on the second part of this railway, which has progressed 47% and connects the Ghorian district of Herat to the airport and industrial townships of this province."

According to the Afghanistan Railway Authority, the development of the second part of the fourth phase of the Khaf-Herat railway, which extends 47 kilometers and connects the Ghorian district of Herat to the airport and industrial townships of this province, has been completed and the practical work on this line will soon begin.

Yadgar Shadmanov, Uzbekistan's ambassador to Afghanistan, also emphasized the importance of the Termez-Mazar-e Sharif and Kabul-Peshawar railways, saying that visits have taken place between officials from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan regarding this matter.

Uzbekistan's ambassador to Afghanistan said: "Many visits have taken place and are still ongoing regarding the Termez-Mazar-e-Sharif-Kabul-Peshawar railway project.

In just the past two or three days, transport officials from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan and some other transport officials from stakeholder countries have held meetings. And I think that these meetings will continue."

Meanwhile, the Chamber of Commerce and Investment believe that the creation and reconstruction of railways are important in enhancing Afghanistan's trade relations with regional countries.

The first deputy of the Chamber of Commerce and Investment, Mohammad Younus Momand, said: "Railways are one of the cheapest ways we must use to be able to export and import at a good and cheap price."

Sakhi Ahmad Payman, the first deputy of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries, said: "Afghanistan is a landlocked country where we have always had difficulties in finding alternative transit routes, especially the Trans-Afghan is economically important for Afghanistan."

Currently, the most transfers are made through the Hairatan, Aqina, and Torghundi railways.
