**On November 11 in Bishkek, representatives of Kyrgyzstan, China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan signed two documents on developing cooperation in the construction sector. These include a joint action plan for 2027–2028, the Ministry of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Kyrgyz Republic reported.**

The documents were signed following the second meeting of construction ministers in the Central Asia — China format.

Participants adopted:

- a joint statement following the meeting;
- an action plan for **2027–2028** on developing cooperation in the construction industry.

The meeting discussed the implementation of the Beijing Initiative, the results of work already carried out, and the main directions for further engagement.

The Beijing Initiative was adopted in 2025 at the first meeting of construction ministers from the six countries. It defined key areas of cooperation, including the development of earthquake-resistant construction, affordable housing, production of construction materials, attracting investment, and introducing digital technologies.

#### **Bilateral meetings**

Minister of Construction of Kyrgyzstan Nurdan Oruntaev also held talks with representatives of three countries:

- Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China **Ni Hong**;
- Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of Uzbekistan **Sherzod Khidoyatov**;
- Chairman of the Committee on Architecture and Construction under the Government of Tajikistan **Nizom Yusufi Mirzozoda**.

They discussed expanding cooperation in the construction industry and implementing joint projects.

The Ministry of Construction noted that the signed documents should serve as the basis for further interaction between the six countries and the fulfillment of reached agreements.

#### **Cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and China in construction**

In May 2026, the State Institute for Earthquake-Resistant Construction and Engineering Design under the Ministry of Construction [signed](https://economist.kg/novosti/2026/05/17/institut-minstroia-kyrgyzstana-podpisal-memorandum-s-nii-stroitelstva-sintsziana/) a memorandum with the Xinjiang Construction Research Institute. The parties agreed to exchange experience and technologies, as well as to develop cooperation in infrastructure projects.

> A separate area is the involvement of Chinese companies in major infrastructure projects. In particular, Chinese contractors are [participating](https://economist.kg/transport/2026/10/27/kku-tonneli-mosty-2026/) in the construction of the China — Kyrgyzstan — Uzbekistan railway. The Kyrgyz section, stretching over **304 km**, includes **29 tunnels and 50 bridges**.

In August, Kyrgyzstan and China [signed](https://economist.kg/vlast/2026/08/31/kyrgyzstan-kitay-30-dokumentov/) **30 documents** following the state visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Among them are an agreement on the construction of a cross-border road bridge at the Bedel checkpoint and a memorandum of cooperation on the China — Central Asia — Europe express rail services.
