Xinhua, January 26, 2015 Adjust font size:

The route of the railway connecting Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan will be finalized in 2015 after Tajikistan reaches an agreement with Turkmenistan, Tajik Transport Minister Hayrullo Asozoda said Monday.

The agreement will be followed by a project feasibility study, with the 9 million U.S. dollars fund provided by the Asian Development Bank, said the minister.
