Tajikistan ratifies railway transport agreement with Turkmenistan

BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 25

By Amina Nazarli - Trend:

Tajikistan’s House of Representatives has ratified an agreement with Turkmenistan on cooperation in the field of railway transport, Trend reports citing Turkmenportal.

The agreement signed in Ashgabat on August 4, 2021 following the high level talks, regulates direct international rail traffic between Turkmenistan and Tajikistan and defines uniform legal norms in direct international rail traffic.

The railway communication between the two countries extends all the way to the International Port of Turkmenbashi on the Caspian Sea’s shores. Access to the Caspian Sea will aid Tajikistan’s efforts to establish transportation links with Europe in this field.

“The agreement also contributes to the strengthening of bilateral cooperation, an increase in trade between the two countries, the use of transit railways and the Turkmen port of Turkmenbashi across the Caspian Sea to access the railways of European countries,” Tajikistan Parliament’s press service said.
