KORAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Tajik Railway at the 2026 Global Infrastructure Cooperation Conference in Seoul, marking a significant move into Tajikistan's railway market. This agreement, which stems from KORAIL's participation in a preliminary feasibility study for a Dushanbe urban rail system, aims to expand cooperation between the two railway operators and create a foundation for future projects.
The Dushanbe urban rail project is being pursued to address traffic congestion, improve public transportation, and strengthen the competitiveness of the capital.
