07:35 - Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan resume border demarcation
Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan resumed work of the intergovernmental commission on delimitation and demarcation of the state border after a 5-year break on December 28.

“The commission did not meet for some objective and subjective reasons that provoked nervousness and stress of people, especially residents of border regions,” Daniyar Usenov the Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan told the press in Tashkent.

The countries have already demarked about 900 km of borders while other 600 km have to be delimited. Moreover, there are about 13 debatable border parts between the countries.

The Kyrgyz prime minister believes delimitation and demarcation of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border would settle the issue on ownership of certain border objects. // 24.kg
