During a working trip to the Issyk-Kul region, the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Head of the Presidential Administration, Akylbek Japarov, participated in a significant event – the laying of a capsule symbolizing the start of the development of Kyrgyzstan’s largest titanomagnetite deposit, Kyzyl-Ompol, located in the Tash-Bulak area.
The Head of the Cabinet of Ministers emphasized that the development of this valuable resource will be undertaken by the state, and the sources of financing for the project will be determined.
“This is a very important event for Kyrgyzstan. The Kyzyl-Ompol deposit contains millions of tons of titanomagnetite. Titanium is a valuable metal used in various industries, including medicine, aviation, and space exploration. The development of this deposit will not only increase our exports but also create new jobs, providing a stimulus for the country’s economic development,” said Akylbek Japarov.
Japarov also highlighted the importance of an environmentally safe approach to the development of the deposit, noting that technologies ensuring the safe extraction of accompanying minerals such as uranium and thorium will be applied. These elements will be removed and transported from the site in strict accordance with international safety standards.
After the capsule-laying ceremony, Akylbek Japarov familiarized himself with the construction progress of a small hydroelectric power plant at the Orto-Tokoy reservoir. The construction of this hydroelectric station is part of the state program to increase electricity production and create new energy sources in Kyrgyzstan.
At the end of his working trip, the Head of the Cabinet of Ministers inspected the reconstruction of the Balykchy-Bokonbaev-Karakol road, specifically the section from Balykchy to Barskoon. The decision to inspect this road was made due to complaints from local residents about the delay in repair works.
Akylbek Japarov expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of the road reconstruction and instructed the responsible parties to accelerate the work and ensure the quality execution of the project. He emphasized that the modernization of road infrastructure is an important step in the development of the transportation system and ensuring traffic safety. Japarov noted that he will personally monitor this issue.
