ASTANA. KAZINFORM - High-speed railway (HSR) Moscow - Beijing may pass through the territory of Kazakhstan, said Russian Ambassador in China Andrei Denisov on Tuesday, according to TASS.
"Experts say that in the case of successful implementation of Moscow - Kazan HSR project, we will think about the line's extension to the south-east thereby connecting Russia and China. It is expected that the HSR will pass through the territory of Kazakhstan. The railway line will be an integral part of the route of the new Silk Road," the diplomat said.
