Pak-Tajikistan transit route to be established

[farhan_9909]

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Water and Power Khawaja Muhammad Asif Monday said that the gas, road, railways and transmission line link between Tajikistan and Pakistan is necessary for the economic interests of the two countries.

He said this during a meeting with a delegation from Tajikistan here, which comprised of Minister of State for Reserves of Tajikistan, Noor Muhammad Akhmedov, Ambassador of Tajikistan in Pakistan Jononov Sherali and other senior officials.

Noor Muhammad said that Tajikistan was interested in transportation of crude oil from Kuwait via Pakistan. Therefore, there is need of services required from Pakistan regarding refining crude oil and transporting to Tajikistan.

While emphasising this route, he said that it is the best and possibly cheapest route to import via Pakistan.

He said that as Tajikistan is a landlocked country, road and railway link between two countries would not only boost economic activities but also strengthen the bilateral relations which would ultimately upgrade the standard of living in the region.

He said that Tajikistan imports 90 percent sugar and 50 percent fertilizers from Pakistan at present.

Khawaja Muhammad Asif said that both countries must think of railway and road link between two countries which would facilitate the cheapest transportation of goods between the two countries.

He also said that these projects would be comprehensively discussed in the coming meeting of Joint Ministerial Commission which would be held in the mid of the coming year.

I have once read that Pakistan has abandoned the Afghanistan side route to Tajikistan and is rather focused on getting access to Tajikistan through china as the distance between Khunjerab Pass and Tajikistan border is only 50km with a road already built linking china-Tajikistan

 

[Sulman Badshah]

is there any road linked through wah khan corridor

Not now but can be built though,why waste money when you can pass into Tajikistan on a already build road,only have to pass 50km inside china

 

[zaid butt]

The only way to Tajikistan is through Afghanistan, it would no be economic feasible to go around Afghanistan.

Excellent, Trade between Pakistan and Tadijikstan should go through China. Its to risky to go via Afghanistan until there is a friendly goverment in Afghanistan and peace and law & order in Afghanistan. As situation is now, pakistani are shot dead in Afghanistan, as thanks for Pakistans shelter to Afghan brother & sisters for last 40 years...

you have to take into account that the map leads to a blind route through Gorno-badakhsan were there is no infrastructure.

Well your new President seems intent on good relations with Pakistan so hopefully this translates to an increase in trade been Afghanistan and Pakistan.

I see one problem in that as it goes via a place where China has banned burqas

Well it is the Chinese which have said no burqas and the Pakistani's here have bent over happily so I doubt they will like a free passage from a place where all their Uighurs terrorists are trained a free passage.
