BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, December 27. Kyrgyzstan
aims to address its "transport isolation" by strengthening its role
in the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), which
also improves transit between China and Europe, Trend reports via OECD.
The report highlights that Kyrgyzstan’s National Development
Strategy for 2018–2040 envisions the country as a key transit hub,
offering safe and high-demand corridors for the movement of
passengers, goods, and cargo.
Furthermore, the Medium-Term National Development Program
through 2026 identifies transport and logistics integration as a
critical priority to mitigate the country's geographical
isolation.
According to the OECD, essential measures for achieving this
vision include the construction of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan
railway, the development of roads connecting Kashgar to Kyrgyz
cities, the reconstruction of existing road networks, the
establishment of a cargo center at Manas International Airport, and
the liberalization of air transport.
Earlier, Adylbek Kasymaliev, Chairman of the Cabinet of
Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration of
Kyrgyzstan, stated that the country's GDP per capita is projected
to reach $2,800 by 2025, a reflection of Kyrgyzstan’s ongoing
commitment to sustainable economic growth.
