Accordingly, targets have been set for railway transportation to account for up to 4 percent of total passenger demand and up to 5 percent of overall freight demand.
Long-distance and heavy transport as well as railway system connectivity with major sea ports, industrial zones and shared-border nations are considered key priorities.
In addition to upgrading current infrastructure, new high-speed railroads will be built.
Safe, high-quality, efficient and eco-friendly services will continue to be the motto of the sector.-VNA
