Turkmenistan is asserted in the role of a key part in creation of new regional and interregional transport and communication infrastructure, the presence of which is one of the main factors of global economic and social progress. A vivid confirmation of it is the project on construction of the international railway Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan which is initiated by our country and implemented in cooperation with partner states.

Subdivisions of Ministry of Railway Transport of Turkmenistan keep on at rapid pace of the construction site: Atamyrat-Ymamnazar.

Today, the railway road has been built up to the station Ymamnazar, at the 80th km of ramification of road. Meantime, the work is underway on laying power lines, construction of infrastructure facilities at the stations Gulistan and Ymamnazar, construction at this track of two major railway bridges (363 meters and 256 meters in length).

This section of railway is of great importance taking into account the rapid development of Lebap region, which today represents the largest industrial center, in particular, is being built another industrial giant - mining and processing complex for the production of potash fertilizers, which play an important role in the context of implemented diversification plan of the national economy, capacity building of domestic chemical industry.

The solemn laying of a new railway road Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan, designed to become a significant part of the regional, international transport infrastructure, was held with the participation of the heads of the three states in June 2013, which are President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai and President of the Republic Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon.

To establish railway communication between Turkmenistan and neighboring countries, of course, will give new impetus to the development of bilateral trade and economic relations, will promote the steady growth of trade turnover, the expansion of transport, industrial and social infrastructure.

The railroad Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan will become the next "golden link" of the international network of transport communications, connecting Europe and Asia. A striking example of the successful implementation of this strategy is the transnational railway Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran - the most important transport artery of the international North-South corridor. The idea of its creation, put forward by the Turkmen leader, laid the profound meaning: to serve the interests of millions of people and, therefore, the interests of peace and universal prosperity.

Turkmenistan affirms as a leading peacemaking state, and a major economic, business and cultural center of the region. Initiative of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov on the revival of the Great Silk Road meet the trends of global development and contribute to the historical mission of the ancient Turkmen land - serve as a crossroads of civilizations in the context of the formation of modern transport and communication systems of the country and the region.
