Kyrgyzstan is set to introduce truck controls at additional checkpoints on its borders with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, according to a draft resolution published for public discussion.
Currently, traffic control is enforced at six checkpoints, but authorities plan to extend these measures to five more locations. The initiative aligns with the regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which require traffic control at all automobile checkpoints along the union’s external borders.
Under the proposal, customs and transport controls will be implemented at the following checkpoints:
- Kyzyl-Kiya, Kara-Bog’ish, and Ken-Say on the Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan border.
- Kayragach and Bor-Dobo on the Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan border.
- Sary Tash, an internal highway checkpoint.
Authorities have noted that in the absence of traffic control at certain checkpoints, trucks have been violating international road transport agreements. The proposed expansion of monitoring aims to improve compliance with interstate regulations and enhance border security.
Earlier, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan signed a border agreement, marking a significant step toward resolving long-standing disputes. The agreement was finalized in Bishkek by Kamchybek Tashiev, Head of Kyrgyzstan’s State Committee for National Security, and his Tajik counterpart, Saimumin Yatimov.
The deal establishes the full delimitation and demarcation of the 972-kilometer shared border, easing historical tensions between the two countries. It also includes provisions for a state border treaty, joint management of energy facilities and water resources, and the construction of new roads at key border crossings to enhance connectivity and cooperation.
