Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have determined the place of construction of the Central Asia Center for industrial cooperation

The corresponding protocol was signed on March 2, 2023 in Shymkent by Deputy Prime Ministers of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan Serik Zhumangarin and Zhamshid Khodzhayev.

The location of the International Center for industrial cooperation is determined in the area of international (multilateral) checkpoints "Atameken" (RK) – "Gulistan" (RR).  Now the parties will work out the issues of allocation and reservation of land plots for the construction of the PSC with an area of 50 hectares each.

Also, the protocol approved an agreement on the exchange of lists of potential projects for placement on the territory of the PSC by March 15, 2023.

The Kazakh and Uzbek trade departments, as curators of the project, agreed within a month to agree on the distribution of the use of the "green" corridor for the sale of goods and cargo produced on the territory of the IEC, as well as on a balanced basis to determine the benefits and preferences applied on the territory of the IEC.
