Description
In 2002, the Government of China allocated 20 million RMB for a feasibility study on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan (CKU) railway. The purpose of the CKU is to shorten the delivery time for Chinese goods to the countries of the Persian Gulf and the EU. The CKU was originally proposed in 1996, and a Memoradum of Understanding (MoU) between the three countries was signed in 1997. Since then the project has faced multiple delays and as of 2021, construction still has yet to begin.
