Infrastructure: China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, still open freight transhipment issue
China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan continues cooperation for the railway line that will create a new transport corridor in the area. This was confirmed by the vice president of the board of the company "Uzbekiston Temir Yullari" Davron Dekhkanov, according to a bulletin of the Uzbek embassy in Rome. As stated by Dekhakanov, "this corridor will allow goods from China to be transported through Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan to Eastern Europe via the Transcaucasian Corridor and will be the shortest route for the transport of goods to Europe, so the project it is of great interest to Chinese railways and the government of China ”. "The People's Republic of China and the government of Uzbekistan are making great efforts to start this construction," said Dekhkanov. The vice president noted that there are technical issues, related to the difference in caliber, and they are still in the process of negotiations between the Chinese and Kyrgyz railways. "The caliber in Uzbekistan is 1520 millimeters, in China it is 1435 millimeters", commented Davron Dekhkanov, although the questions on the location of the terminal, on how and on which station to tranship goods are still open, we hope to implement this project as part of the “One Belt One Road” project.
Infrastructures: RailwaysDekhkanov noted that Uzbek railwaymen participated in the planning, construction and installation planning, and as this site is similar to the Uzbek Angren-Pap route, it will be necessary to build many technical structures, tunnels and bridges. According to experts, the railway "China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan" will not only create the southern corridor of the Second Continental Transport Bridge, but will also open up new markets for producers in three countries. According to preliminary parameters, the route from East Asia to the countries of the Middle East and Europe will be reduced by 7-8 days and around 900 kilometers. In addition, the construction will ensure the development of transport infrastructure in Central Asian countries, offering them convenient access to the ports of the Persian Gulf and the Pacific, stimulating the development and use of natural resources of the countries of the region.
