(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 15. China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway is a symbol of regional
cooperation, trend reports citing the Ankara Center for Crisis and
Policy Studies (ANKASAM), a think tank based in Türkiye.
According to ANKASAM, the implementation of transport and
logistics projects helps to strengthen regional ties, as well as
economic interests. Both the governments of Kyrgyzstan and
Uzbekistan are keen on the construction of the railway.
'Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan will become a bridge that provides
the connection between Europe and Asia. Therefore, as stated by the
President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, global challenges and
new challenges make alternative transport corridors essential,'
ANKASAM said.
Essentially, this project, which will quickly connect China to
Europe through Central Asia, will also ensure the establishment of
the safest route at the Caspian-based transportation point.
'It can be stated that the railway on this route, which Chinese
President Xi Jinping claims will reveal Central Asia's
transportation potential, will increase countries' export
potential, reduce transportation costs, and deepen regional
integration,' the think tank noted.
To sum up, the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway Project
stands out as an extremely important initiative in this regard. It
is possible to say that the completion of the railway will also
strengthen the Middle Corridor.
Notably, an agreement on construction of
China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railroad (section on the territory of
Kyrgyzstan) was signed on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization Summit in Samarkand on September 14, 2022.
