Grant Description
In 2002, the Government of China allocated 20 million RMB for a feasibility study on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan (CKU) railway, which aims to shorten delivery times for Chinese exports to the Persian Gulf and Europe.
The CKU railway was first proposed in 1996, with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the three governments in 1997.
After decades of delays, progress resumed in August 2022 when China deployed 80 experts from the First Design and Survey Institute of China Railway Construction Corporation to begin fieldwork for the feasibility study.
By June 2023, the feasibility study was completed, and in May 2023, the three parties signed a draft MoU outlining their respective responsibilities.
China will invest in and construct the rail line within its borders, Kyrgyzstan will provide political and technical support (e.g., land access and environmental assessments), and Uzbekistan will upgrade its existing infrastructure.
The parties have agreed to jointly develop an investment, financing, construction, and management model based on a “combined route” recommended by the study.
