Officials from the interim government have announced the inauguration of Afghanistan’s first transit road to China in Badakhshan Province. This route spans 120 kilometers and has cost 365 million Afghanis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Launch of New Transit Road<\/h2>\n

Officials from the interim government report the opening of Afghanistan’s first land transit route to China through the Wakhan corridor in Badakhshan Province. The pathway, beginning in the Broghil region, was officially inaugurated today, Sunday, October 12, in a ceremony attended by several dignitaries.<\/p>\n

Hamidullah Fatrat, the deputy spokesperson for the interim government, stated that the approximately 120-kilometer road has been constructed as the first land corridor for trade between the two countries. The project has been completed as a gravel and dirt road.<\/p>\n

Details of the Transit Project<\/h2>\n

The Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development has disclosed that the project cost around 365 million Afghanis. During its construction, 66 culverts and four bridges were built, along with nearly four thousand meters of retaining walls. This route is expected to significantly facilitate trade and economic relations between Afghanistan and China.<\/p>\n

The overall distance of the Wakhan corridor from Ashkasham district to the Chinese border exceeds 300 kilometers, but the currently operational section consists of 121 kilometers between Broghil and the border with China. This project has the potential to enhance trade and economic exchanges in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
