  "summary": "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. KORAIL's involvement in the project could move from the feasibility-study stage to subsequent phases, including basic and detailed design, construction, operations, and maintenance.",
