President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov said during a working trip to Osh region that the construction of China — Kyrgyzstan — Uzbekistan railway would begin in October this year. Azattyk reports.
According to Japarov, now Kyrgyzstan is a dead-end state in terms of logistics, which has to go out into the world via the railways of Kazakhstan and Russia.
When the railway is built, we will be able to go out into the world. This will be our own way.
