He noted that the residents of Nooken, Aksy, Ala-Buka, and Chatkal, as well as the citizens of Tash-Kumyr and Shamaldy-Say, are demanding the inclusion of this new railway line in the roadmap for the "Railway China – Kyrgyzstan – Uzbekistan" project.
According to Charginov, such a line will significantly simplify the transportation of goods to the Nooken, Aksy, Ala-Buka, and Chatkal districts, as well as to the cities of Tash-Kumyr and Shamaldy-Say. This, in turn, will facilitate the export of products from these regions and the establishment of logistics centers.
The delegate also emphasized that the railway stations in Tash-Kumyr and Shamaldy-Say, due to their proximity to Uzbekistan, will open new transport routes to other countries.

Half of the amount, approximately $2.3 billion, will be provided by China in the form of a 35-year loan for the Joint Project Company established by the three countries. The repayment of this loan will be carried out directly by the Joint Project Company, while the remaining $2.3 billion will be contributed to the authorized capital of this company by the three states in the following percentage ratio: China – 51%, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan – 24.5% each.
