Korea is seeking to operate a special express train this year that would pass major cities in Eurasia.
South Korea hopes to eventually link its rail network to Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway via North Korea.
The foreign ministry said it signed a deal with state rail operator Korea Railroad Corporation to form a task force this month to set details of the train project.
The envisioned express train is likely to pass through countries including China, Mongolia, Russia and Germany, with the route expected to span more than 10,000 kilometers.■
