Border Crossing Regime Changed Between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan

Today, on February 25, deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh considered and adopted several bills aimed at developing infrastructure, security, and tourism in Kyrgyzstan.

The first bill adopted was ‘On the Ratification of the Protocol on Amendments to the Agreement between the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Border Crossing Points’ in the first reading.

The rapporteur was Abdikarim Alimbaev, Chairman of the State Border Service of the Kyrgyz Republic. According to him, the changes concern the status of the ‘Tomönkü-Chuy-motorway’ (‘Kamy shankovka-motorway’) and ‘Kichi-Kapka-motorway’ checkpoints, which will be transferred from bilateral to multilateral (international). In addition, the ‘Tomönkü-Chuy-motorway’ checkpoint will operate around the clock instead of during daylight hours.

> ‘The change in the status of these checkpoints is due to the need to create favorable conditions for the development of tourism, increase cargo and passenger flow, and improve infrastructure,’ noted Abdikarim Alimbaev.
