BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 28. Kyrgyzstan's
Ministry of Economy submitted for a public discussion a draft
resolution proposing exporting coal from Kyrgyzstan only by rail,

'In order to reduce the smuggling and illegal turnover of goods
across the state border, it was suggested to export coal from
Kyrgyzstan only by rail transport,' the document says.
About 30-35 percent of the total volume of coal produced in
Kyrgyzstan is exported to third countries, and the share of exports
by rail is about 70 percent of the total exports.
'Railway transport makes it possible to ensure a very high level
of safety during the transportation of goods, this is actually the
safest mode of ground transportation,' the message says.
Meanwhile, Kyrgyzstan ranks second in terms of coal reserves in
Central Asia and has a large export potential, the share of coal in
the fuel and energy balance of the country is about 50 percent.
