 ❗️Saudi Arabia says rail link studies with Turkiye via Jordan and Syria to finish by year-end, boosting trade plans

Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Transport and Logistic Services, Saleh al-Jasser, said on Wednesday that the joint feasibility studies for a planned railway connection linking Saudi Arabia and Turkiye through Jordan and Syria are expected to be finalized by the end of the year. He emphasized that the initiative is aimed at facilitating trade flows.

In an interview with Al-Arabiya Business, Jasser stated that the project would “enhance regional integration, support trade, and develop a sustainable land transport system between the countries of the region.”

He also pointed out that Saudi Arabia’s existing rail network currently reaches the Jordanian border through the Al-Haditha crossing, describing it as a key strategic point for future expansion toward broader regional and international rail connectivity.
