China Railway 20 Bureau Deputy General Manager Chen Lei attended. This project adopts the mode of integration of investment, construction and operation. The successful signing of this project is an important achievement achieved by the 20th Bureau of China Railway during the first China-Central Asia Summit.
Wang Wenzhong introduced the general situation of China Railway Construction, the status quo of overseas business development and business development in Kyrgyzstan market. He said that China Railway Construction is full of confidence in the future development of Kyrgyzstan and is willing to take an active part in the construction of photovoltaic, wind and hydropower power generation projects in Kyrgyzstan by leveraging its advantages in the whole industrial chain and its service capacity in the whole life cycle, so as to contribute to the economic and social development of Kyrgyzstan.
Sadr Zaparov said that Kyrgyzstan is currently undergoing a series of reforms in its energy structure. The Isekkul 1000 MW photovoltaic power plant project is the first large-scale centralized photovoltaic project in Kyrgyzstan. It will not only benefit the Kyrgyz people in the long run, but also greatly enhance the independent power supply capacity and promote economic and social development and prosperity.
The political leaders and people of Kyrgyzstan have paid close attention to the progress of this project. "Kyrgyzstan, which has abundant hydropower resources, has developed less than 70 percent of its hydropower resources and needs to import a large amount of electricity from neighboring countries every year," Kyrgyz Prime Minister Azzaparov said in a special video conference on May 16. "When completed, the project will greatly enhance Kyrgyzstan's ability to provide electricity independently."
The first China-Central Asia Summit is China's first major diplomatic event in 2023. During the summit, China Railway Construction and China Railway 20th Bureau were also invited to attend the Tajikistan Roundtable and Kazakhstan Roundtable.
