[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Rail Network Authority has been selected as the final successful bidder for the 10 billion KRW-scale "Basic and Detailed Design Services for Morocco High-Speed Rail Section 3" commissioned by the Moroccan National Railways Office.

According to the Rail Network Authority on the 10th, the construction of the Morocco high-speed rail is a large-scale infrastructure project connecting Tanger, the northernmost point of Morocco and the gateway to Europe, to Agadir on the southwestern coast.

Among these, the Rail Network Authority will be responsible for designing the Nua??a to Marrakech section (203 km).

Kim Han-young, Director of the Rail Network Authority, said, "Winning this project will serve as an opportunity to widely inform the international community that Korea possesses the technology to export high-speed rail design," adding, "The Rail Network Authority will do its best to additionally win the upcoming Poland high-speed rail project bidding and strive to serve as a platform supporting domestic companies' entry into overseas markets."
