PM urges to complete construction of 'Uzen-state border with Turkmenistan' and 'Zhetygen-Korgas' lines
ASTANA. January 12. KAZINFORM /Kanat Kulshmanov/ Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov has urged Kazakhstan Temir Zholy JSC to complete construction of railroad lines 'Uzen-state border with Turkmenistan' and 'Zhetygen-Korgas' by the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan's Independence at the enlarged board meeting of the company in Astana on Tuesday, January 12.
"It is a very important issue, our trade policy depends on the pace of these lines construction. The road to Turkmenistan is an access to warm seas, and we will have an opportunity to export our production through them", K.Massimov noted.
"I know that the Turkmen part is constructed at a growing rate, and Iran, in my opinion, moves promptly. And we, in our turn, should not be late", he emphasized.
According to the Head of the Government, China is our export market. We should present the gift by the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan's Independence for export in this direction.
