China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway picks up steam

The construction project for the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway is making significant strides forward, announced Akylbek Japarov, the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, during a productive meeting with Erkin Tuniyaz, Chairman of the People's Government of Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, who visited Kyrgyzstan.

Japarov highlighted the positive progress of the project. He noted that in February of this year, a pivotal trilateral meeting took place in Beijing, involving experts from the concerned nations and a delegation from the Chinese Railways Company.

Japarov and Tuniaz discussed the most important issues related to the work of checkpoints on the Kyrgyz-Chinese state border.

Expressing appreciation to the Chinese authorities, Japarov acknowledged their decision to extend the operating hours of the Erkeshtam and Torugart checkpoints to a 7-day, 14-hour work schedule until June 30, 2024.

Moreover, the successful execution of significant projects, including the construction of the Friendship Bridge between Kyrgyzstan and China and a belt conveyor with a coal base near the Erkeshtam checkpoint, was emphasized.

Japarov underscored the importance of initiatives such as the opening of the new Bedel checkpoint and the ongoing construction of the Barskoon-Uqturpan-Aksu automobile road. He emphasized the strategic significance of trade and economic collaboration with Xinjiang, describing the region as a vital gateway to China for Kyrgyzstan.

The 454 km long China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway is designed to link the railway systems of China and Uzbekistan via Kyrgyzstan and eventually connect to the European railway network via Turkmenistan, Iran and Türkiye.
