Afghanistan expects road link with China

Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Sunday that Afghanistan is interested in building a road in Wakhanto connect with China.
Karzai said this after returning home from Beijing.
Karzai, who attended the inaugural ceremony of Olympic Games on Aug. 8 in Beijing, added that he exchanged views with his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao during his visit and briefed him about the willingness of Afghans on constructing the road.
Wakhan corridor in the mountainous Pamir area connects Afghanistan's northeastern Badakhshan province to China's Xingjian Uygur Autonomous Region.
Linking Afghanistan with China through road in Wakhan would enhance trade and economic activities in the region, the President said.
