The plan to build more railroads in Xinjiang will facilitate the growing trade between western China and central Asia and open up the southern passage of the new Euroasia continental bridge.
Currently the only railway linking Xinjiang with central Asia is a 460-km line between Urumqi and Alataw P *, where it connects to Kazakhstan railways.
It has been reported that the construction of two railways linking Xinjiang with the central Asian nations of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan is under way.
The 6.2-billion yuan railway linking Korgas on the China-Kazakhstan border with China's inland railways, is expected to be completed within this year.
It will extend westward to join the Sary-Ozek railway of Kazakhstan to become the second cross-border rail link between the two countries.
Meanwhile, preparatory work has begun on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway, which starts from Kashi in Xinjiang and extends through Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan.It could be completed in 2009
