Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, is seeking to modernize its urban transportation system by adopting South Korea’s smart transportation model. Korea National Railway (KNR) recently completed training for senior officials from Tajikistan’s Ministry of Transport and the city of Dushanbe on November 9. The training, which took place from November 1 to 7, aimed to establish a smart urban transportation master plan and detailed smart mobility plan for Dushanbe.
This project is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) initiative funded by South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and overseen by the International Contractors Association of Korea. The project runs from June 24, 2026 to June 23, 2028, with a budget of approximately 2.737 million won ($1.98 million).
During the training, KNR shared its expertise on various aspects of transportation management, including financing strategies for infrastructure, AI-based smart intersection operation technology, and integrated urban transportation data management. Trainees also had the opportunity to visit South Korean transportation sites, including the Gyeonggi-do Traffic Information Center and Seoul Transport Operation and Information Service (TOPIS), to observe the collection, analysis, and utilization of transportation data firsthand.
They also experienced the Ui-Sinseol Line urban railway to explore operational plans applicable to Dushanbe’s transportation environment.
The training concluded with the signing of a Record of Discussion (RoD) between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the city of Dushanbe, strengthening the foundation for cooperation between the two sides. KNR President Jung Jin-hyuk expressed hope that the training would enhance Tajikistan’s smart transportation management capabilities.
He added that KNR would not only actively support the project using its experience in building transportation infrastructure but also continue to expand cooperation in the global transportation infrastructure market, including in Tajikistan.
