China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway construction to begin in December

The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railroad project is set to hit the ground running this month, the press service of Uzbek President said.

The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railroad, 486 kilometers long, will connect the following points: Kashgar-Torugart-Makmal-Jalal-Abad-Andijan. This new rail network will be of great importance to the entire region and will provide a wider range of opportunities for the global trading system by providing reliable and safe infrastructure.

The construction originates from an agreement among China, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, signed on June 6 of this year, to facilitate the railway project and address financing concerns. Subsequently, the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway Company LLC was established on July 26.
