The details of the planned China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway are still underway. This development has stricken an interest among many from the outside world.
Reports say the railway route will be determined in April this year. Kyrgyzstan offered an option according to which a five-billion-US dollars railroad should run through the regions of the country to contribute to the development of its trade and economic relation.
Seen as part of China’s One Belt and Road Initiative, Kyrgyz Prime Minister Sapar Isakov spoke highly of the project and China’s participation.
“Kyrgyzstan will play a heavy role in the railway. It will not only benefit our economy, but also the countries of the region,” said Isakov.
“China likes to develop not only by itself but together with other countries. Together we are growing. I’d also like to note that China never puts any kind of conditions on us in terms of cooperation,” he added.
