Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have launched the construction of “Central Asia International Centre for Trade and Economic Cooperation” on the borders of the two countries.
- Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov and his Kazkazh counterpart Askar Mamim, laid a capsule at the construction site of the logistic centre, which is located in the vicinity of the border check post Gisht Kuprik.
- The center with a total area of 400 hectares will be located near the Zhibek Zholy and Gisht Kuprik border checkpoint. The capacity is estimated at 35,000 people and 5,000 trucks per day in both directions.
- Both countries are expecting that the center will give significant impetus to regional tourist flow and cross-border trade and contribute to developing the North-South and Central Asian transport and transit corridor.
- The memorandum to establish the center was signed as part of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s visit to Tashkent in April 2019.
