Kyrgyzstan is paying special attention to environmental protection during the construction of China—Kyrgyzstan—Uzbekistan railway. According to him, the project is technically one of the most challenging initiatives. «Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country with many difficult sections, tunnels and bridges that will need to be built. He added that Kyrgyzstan has many protected natural areas, making it essential to take environmental considerations into account. The total length of the railway will be about 480 kilometers, with more than 304 kilometers passing through Kyrgyzstan.
