In the near future, a new border checkpoint (BCP) “Uchkurgan”–”Kensay” will be opened on the border between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. This event marks an important step in the development of trade and economic relations between the two countries and will have a significant impact on the well-being of residents in the border regions.
Today, the site was visited by the First Deputy Chairman of the Customs Committee of Uzbekistan, Ilhom Mukhtorov, and the First Deputy Chairman of the State Customs Service of Kyrgyzstan, Ulan Kimsanov. They noted that the posts, which are expected to open in a few days, will contribute not only to improving the well-being of the population of Namangan and neighboring Jalal-Abad regions but will also usher in a new era in the movement of foreign trade goods throughout the Fergana Valley.
How Will the New Checkpoint Help?
- Accelerating Trade: The new BCP will significantly ease and speed up the border crossing process for both freight and passenger vehicles. This will greatly reduce the time required for transporting goods, which in turn will positively impact the development of foreign trade. It is expected that the export of agricultural and industrial products from the Fergana Valley to neighboring countries and abroad will increase.
- Infrastructure Development: The opening of the new BCP will contribute to the improvement of transportation infrastructure in the border regions. Due to its proximity to the important Osh-Bishkek highway, the new checkpoint will become a key transportation hub connecting various regions of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. This will enhance logistics and transportation links, making them more convenient and efficient.
- Improving Well-being: The development of trade routes and the simplification of border crossing procedures will contribute to the economic growth of the border regions. This, in turn, will lead to the creation of new jobs, increased income for the local population, and an overall improvement in the quality of life.
- Strengthening Bilateral Relations: The new BCP “Uchkurgan”–”Kensay” will be another testament to the strengthening of good-neighborly relations between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Joint infrastructure projects bring the two countries closer together, which is especially important in the context of globalization and the growth of international trade.
- Safety and Convenience: The new BCP will be equipped with modern technologies and infrastructure that ensure the safety and convenience of border crossings for passengers and carriers. This will reduce the load on other border checkpoints and improve the quality of service at the border.
The opening of the new BCP “Uchkurgan”–”Kensay” will be a significant event for both Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. This project will not only strengthen economic ties between the two countries but also create new opportunities for the residents of the border regions.
