BİSHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, June 27. Kyrgyz President
Sadyr Japarov signed a law authorizing the exploration and
development of uranium and thorium deposits in the territory of the
country, Trend
reports.
Particularly, the law on subsoil was amended, and the law on
prohibition of activities related to the geological study of
subsoil for the search, exploration, and development of uranium and
thorium deposits in Kyrgyzstan was recognized as invalid.
Furthermore, it is noted that the law was adopted to strike a
balance between protecting the environment, making the most of
valuable resources for the country, and boosting the economy of
Kyrgyzstan.
To note, since 2019, the country has had a moratorium on uranium
development, which was introduced after protests against the
development of the uranium deposit Tash-Bulak in the Issyk-Kul
region.
