Uzbekistan has restored a rail link to Alat city on the border with Turkmenistan, the Sputnik Uzbekistan Agency reports.
The train services on the route Alat Tashkent Alat will be performed from Monday four times a week.
During a working trip to the Bukhara Region, Shavkat Mirziyoyev instructed to resume railway traffic from Alat city located on the border between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to Tashkent, the capital city of the Republic. As the head of state stressed, such a request is contained in many applications by local residents.
In this regard, the press service of Uzbekiston Temir Yullari (Uzbek Railways) informed passengers on the resumption of train traffic between Alat and Tashkent as of January 25 this year.
In September last year, as part of the next round of political consultations between the foreign ministries of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, the parties discussed the expansion of links in the fields of transport, transport communications and transit.
The meeting participants spoke in favor of the soonest implementation of the Ashgabat Agreement for the formation of the international transport and communications corridor Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Oman.
