On October 25, Chinese investors launched the construction of four extensive production facilities in Kyrgyzstan’s Naryn region: a car assembly plant, an LED lamp manufacturing plant, a toilet paper and napkin plant, and an agricultural drone manufacturing plant.
At a capsule-laying ceremony, Akylbek Japarov, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, emphasized that this event proves that Kyrgyzstan has reached “a new, higher level of relations” with its neighbor.
Chinese partners will invest $130 million in the Naryn-Shumkar car assembly plant, which will manufacture more than 20,000 cars annually and create 1,000 jobs.
$10 million will be invested in the LED lamp plant, which will produce 30 million lamps per year and create about 200 jobs.
Another $10 million will be invested in the toilet paper and napkin plant, which will produce 6,000 tons of paper annually and create more than 100 jobs.
On the same day, Japarov attended a ceremony to begin the construction of a new residential compound, Tien Shan City, in the town of Naryn.
The residential compound will consist of six 10-storey apartment blocks. The developer, a construction company from the Chinese city of Kashgar, plans to complete high-quality modern housing construction within a year. The company will also build an administration house for all government services for the local population.
