Earlier this month, South Korea and Tajikistan signed an agreement to launch a feasibility study for the Jalodini-Balkhi-Jaihun-Nizhni-Panj railway project, a 51-kilometer rail line that would extend Tajikistan's rail network to the Afghanistan border at Nizhni-Panj (also known as Panj Poyon in the Pamir Mountains).
