A time capsule laying ceremony was held in the village of Nura in Alay district of Osh region, marking the launch of a major strategic project in Kyrgyzstan’s energy and logistics sector, the Ministry of Energy reported.
According to the ministry, this initiative is one of the largest infrastructure steps aimed at expanding the country’s export and logistics potential.
The project is being implemented as part of a strategic partnership between Kyrgyzkomur JSC and the Chinese company Xinjiang Dacheng Yuanlong Technology Co., Ltd. The total investment is $430 million.
The main goal of the project is to ensure the export of coal mined at Tekelik deposit through Irkeshtam border crossing using a modern logistics system, reducing transportation costs, and increasing the competitiveness of the Kyrgyz Republic in foreign markets.
At the same time, a modern logistics center will be built on a 10-hectare site in the village of Nura. It will include two coal preparation plants and a conveyor belt system for coal transportation. Once fully implemented, the project will create over 100 permanent jobs, significantly contributing to the socioeconomic development of the region. (24.kg)
