Russia and Pakistan to launch freight railway
Russia and Pakistan have announced that they are working on launching their first freight railway line, connecting Moscow with Faisalabad and Karachi, with the aim of reducing shipping time compared to maritime transport. Currently, shipping takes between 35 to 45 days, but the new route is expected to complete the journey in 20 to 25 days. This project, considered a strategic transportation corridor within the North-South Transport Corridor, passes through five major countries: Russia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Iran, and Turkmenistan, covering a length of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers. Its implementation has faced delays due to geopolitical tensions in the region, with finalizing the service contract and selecting involved companies expected soon. The project aims to enhance connectivity among the participating countries and improve transport efficiency, with the possibility of involving Minsk in the future.
