According to Junusov, when he started his career as an ambassador, there were only 4 checkpoints between the countries and now their number has reached 8. He noted that during the meeting between Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Sadyr Japarov, it was instructed to open all 15 checkpoints.

“Also, the leaders of the two countries agreed that the inspection of the passports of citizens passing through the checkpoints should not take longer than one and a half minutes,” Junusov said.

The diplomat also noted that once the regulatory requirements for the opening of checkpoints are resolved, traffic will be established between Jalal-Abad and Namangan.
