Japarov emphasized that despite being costly, the project will transform Kyrgyzstan ‘from a dead-end into a transit state.’

‘God willing, we will resolve this issue and start construction soon,’ said the president, without specifying the planned timeframe.

Previously, LogiStan reported that the implementation of the ‘China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan’ railway project was postponed due to Beijing and Bishkek failing to agree on financing terms.
