Delegates from Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan are exploring the potential to develop demarcation maps for the shared section of their state border, the press service of the Kyrgyz government reports.
A recent meeting of the working groups of government delegations from both countries, focusing "on the joint Kyrgyz-Uzbek demarcation commission", took place in the city of Osh. During this gathering, the participants reviewed the progress made in 2023, agreed upon the meeting schedule for 2024, and engaged in discussions regarding the "demarcation of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek state border, the creation of demarcation maps, and the establishment of a special (common) geodetic network."
Following the meeting, the Kyrgyz delegation noted, a "relevant protocol" was signed.
The border between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan spans approximately 1,300 kilometers. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, numerous disputed areas emerged along this frontier, leading to a prolonged impasse in resolving these issues for nearly three decades. It was only in 2017 that the two nations began to actively address the demarcation and delimitation of the shared border section.
A significant milestone was achieved in January 2023, with the successful completion of the delimitation procedure.
