BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, July 26 . Kyrgyzstan and
the European bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) have
discussed major transport initiatives, Trend reports.
Kyrgyzstan's acting Minister of Transport and Communications,
Absattar Syrgabaev, met with a delegation from the EBRD led by
Ayten Rustamova, the Regional Head for Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and
Turkmenistan.
One significant topic was the completion of all necessary
procedures for the financing agreement of the Balbay Baatyr -
Karakol road reconstruction project, valued at 56.5 million euro.
The next steps involve selecting a consulting engineer and a
contractor for the project.
The discussions also covered two other major projects: the
reconstruction of the northern bypass road around Bishkek and
neighboring areas in the Chuy region, and the reconstruction of the
Kara Balta-Chaldovar road.
The ministry confirmed its commitment to move both projects
forward at the same time, even though there are some temporary
challenges with acquiring land for the northern bypass. They are
working closely with the Bishkek City Administration to resolve
these issues.
Additionally, the meeting touched on a $12 million project aimed
at enhancing climate resilience for the Kyrgyz Railway national
company's infrastructure. Upcoming actions include finalizing
tender documentation and procedural approvals.
The parties agreed to schedule a follow-up meeting with the head
of the EBRD Advisory Services Program in Central Asia and Mongolia,
Simone Zeh Atanasovski, to further discuss the issues raised.
