The construction of China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railroad will be started the next year, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov told Kabar Agency on Monday.

In an exclusive interview President Zhaparov said that it has been 20 years since we want to built this railway, but it didn’t start at all.

“There is a good saying in Kyrgyzstan, “One who can’t put on a needle, he blames a needle.” So far, no one has been able to explain to the Russian side that we need this railway as an air and water. Recently, during a recent visit to the CSTO summit, I talked with Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) for half an hour. In the end, he understood that we need this railway as an air and water, and expressed his position that they have no objections and if we need it, we can build it. God willing, we will start next year when the feasibility study is completed this year. The feasibility study is being prepared with the participation of three parties. If this road is built, we will leave the “abyss” and become a transit state. There will be jobs. Our economy will boom. After Kumtor, we will have another source of funding, which will help us get rid of the worries about how to repay our foreign debt. The road ahead is straight. Our future is bright. As long as there is peace, everything will be fine,” the Kyrgyz president said.
