Islamabad, Istanbul rail link to be restored: minister
This was decided at a meeting between Pakistan's Railway Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique and Turkish Ambassador Babar Hizlan here.
In the hour-long meeting, it was noted that regional economic connectivity would save time in exporting goods from one country to another.
Rafique said restoration of rail link between Islamabad and Istanbul would strengthen historic bonds of brotherhood and cooperation.
He said Pakistan Railways planned to upgrade the Quetta-Taftan railway track for which investment from Turkish companies would be welcomed, state-run APP news agency reported.
