Deputy Director of the State Border Service Marat Maralbaev, who presented the report, stated that the protocol makes changes to the status of two border points:
- "Kamyshanovka-Road" (formerly "Tömönkü-Chüy-Road") and "Kichi-Kapka-Road" will now operate in a multilateral (international) mode instead of a bilateral one;
- the "Kamyshanovka-Road" point will operate around the clock, unlike the previous regime, which was limited to daylight hours.
According to Maralbaev, these changes are aimed at creating more favorable conditions for the development of the tourism industry, as well as increasing the flow of goods and passengers, which in turn should improve the infrastructure of border areas.
The committee members unanimously supported the draft law in the first reading.
