Kanybek Imanaliev: Talks on railway China – Kyrgyzstan – Uzbekistan come to nought

"Talks on railway China - Kyrgyzstan - Uzbekistan came to nought," deputy Kanybek Imanaliev said at a meeting of Ata Meken parliamentary faction.

According to him, the main financing and construction will be provided by China, but the parties haven't made a single mutual decision yet.

"We praise railway project, which we like, but it's up to China to decide. It doesn't agree with the route, the size of the track. This question was considered in 1998 and again we have the same," the deputy said.

As he pointed out, three main issues of the future road construction are not solved yet: funding, its route and track width.

According to Kanybek Imanaliev, China can reach Europe via other routes, bypassing Kyrgyzstan. For example, through Kazakhstan or Pakistan.
