Turkmen Company Proposes Transit Highway Linking Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to Investors

Turkmen media have reported that a Turkmen company, during a business meeting between Turkmenistan and China in Shanghai, introduced a plan to investors and Chinese partners for the construction of a fast transit highway connecting the cities of Serakhs, Mary, and Serhetabat.

The project aims to develop transportation infrastructure and facilitate trade and transit cooperation between Turkmenistan and China. According to reports, the proposed highway intends to link Serakhs, near the Iranian border, through Mary to Serhetabat, which is close to the Afghan border.

This project has been proposed at a time when the provision of transit infrastructure in the region plays an important role in facilitating trade and economic exchanges. However, it still requires enforceable guarantees and attention to the mutual interests of the involved parties, especially Afghanistan.
