Rail studies

AFGHANISTAN'S mining minister yesterday said the China Metallurgical Group Corp has been selected to carry out technical studies for two proposed rail lines in the country.

Wahidullah Shahrani said the Chinese company will begin the preliminary studies soon for building a rail line from Kabul to Turkam in the east, and Kabul to Mazar-e-Sharif in the north. The rail lines are seen as essential to help Afghanistan develop a mining industry that could bring in billions of sorely needed dollars to the poor nation.
