The Trans-Asian Railway is a network of railways that connects countries across Asia, facilitating trade and travel. It aims to link major cities and regions, enhancing economic cooperation among participating nations. The project is part of the broader initiative by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) to promote sustainable transport. This railway network spans several countries, including China, India, and Turkey, and is designed to integrate with existing rail systems. By improving connectivity, the Trans-Asian Railway supports regional development and aims to reduce transportation costs, making it easier for goods and people to move across borders.
