Afghanistan aspires to be South-Central Asia hub: Sharafat

KABUL (TOLOnews): The Head of the Afghanistan Railway Authority (ARA), Bakht Rahman Sharafat, in a meeting in Astrakhan, stressed that Afghanistan wants to become a hub between South and Central Asia. Sharafat called on the financial organizations and traders to invest in Afghanistan’s railway project.

“We will cooperate with all of the organizations and traders who want to invest,” said Abdul Sami Durrani, a spokesman for the ARA. Sharafat also stressed the need for the implementation of the Trans-Afghan project in his meeting with Russian officials, according to the spokesman. “The Trans-Afghan project is one of the important projects to change Afghanistan into a regional hub and the inclusion of Russians will have a vital role,” said Mahbobullah Mohammadi, a trader.

The Afghanistan Chamber of Industry and Mines (ACIM) will improve the economic sector of Afghanistan. “Afghanistan has a transit location like a square for the Asian Railway. Afghanistan’s connection for transit brings together facilities in the region and improves the Afghan economy,” said Sakhi Ahmad Paiman, deputy head of the ACIM. The Astrakhan meeting was hosted by Russia and was intended to bring facilities in transit between South and Central Asia.
