The protocol on the joint construction of the International Center for Industrial Cooperation (ICIC) was signed in the Kazakh city of Shymkent by the Deputy Prime Ministers of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan Serik Zhumangarin and Jamshid Khodzhaev, Ritmeurasia.org reports.
The location of the International Center for Industrial Cooperation is determined in the area of international (multilateral) checkpoints "Atameken" (Kazakhstan) - "Gulistan" (Uzbekistan). The parties will work out the issues of allocating and reserving land plots for the construction of the MCPC in the amount of 50 hectares from each.
The protocol fixes an agreement to exchange lists of potential projects for placement on the territory of the MCPC by March 15, 2023.
In particular, within the framework of the MTsPK being created, it is planned to create a cluster for deep processing of Kazakh grain up to 1 million tons and implement a project for refining vegetable oil.
The Kazakh and Uzbek trade departments, as curators of the project, agreed within a month to agree on the issues of extending the operation of the "green" corridor for the movement of goods and cargo produced on the territory of the ICTC, as well as to determine the benefits and preferences that operate on the territory of the ICPC on a parity basis.
