Aqina (prs|اقينه; ps|اقينه), also known as Aqina Port, is a border checkpoint and border crossing in the northern Faryab Province of Afghanistan.[1] It has a train station by the same name, which serves as the second rail service between Afghanistan and neighboring Turkmenistan.[2] Aqina is located in the northern part of Khani Chahar Bagh District, directly adjacent to the border with Turkmenistan.[3]
Security in and around Aqina is provided by the Afghan National Security Forces, which includes the Afghan Border Force. Every visitor or traveler between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan must possess a valid travel visa.[4] [5] The city of Andkhoy is less than of driving distance to the southwest of Aqina.
Aqina is the southern terminus of a railway line via Imamnazar to Kerki in Turkmenistan, which officially became operational in late 2016.[6] [7] It became one of three railways in Afghanistan.
The rail extension from Aqina to Andkhoy was completed in early 2021.[8] [9] [10] Unknown when it will actually happen, the rail line will eventually become part of a railway corridor through northern Afghanistan.[11]
There is a small dry port with basic facilities in Aqina,[12] [13] which includes a heliport where about a dozen helicopters can be parked.
