China, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan have signed an intergovernmental agreement to construct a long-planned railway, bringing the vision of a transformative transportation corridor in Central Asia closer to reality.
After spending some time on a sidetrack, the long-planned China - Kyrgyzstan - Uzbekistan railway may be ready to get back on the main line. The heads of state of the three participating nations have approved an intergovernmental agreement to transform the railway from “a vision into a reality,” according to the Xinhua news agency. It was a virtual signing ceremony for what, to date, has seemed like a chimerical project.
“This road will allow our countries to enter the wide markets of South Asia and the Middle East through the promising Trans-Afghan Corridor,” the Podrobno.uz outlet quoted the Uzbek president as saying. Participants in the signing ceremony did not mention the project’s cost or a construction timeline. Xi indicated only that the participants would strive to complete the railway “as soon as possible.
