The news that Uzbekistan's "Angren-PAP" railway is listed as "** No. 1 project" may not attract much attention in China, because our country has been accustomed to seeing big scenes, not only experiencing many infrastructure projects, but also many more ambitious plans are underway. However, in Uzbekistan, the railway connecting the Ferghana Basin with the capital Tashkent is significant.
Uzbekistan is a vast country with a relatively small population and a relatively backward economy. The Ferghana Basin is one of the richest regions of Uzbekistan and the heartland of an ancient civilization, accounting for one-third of the country's population. However, the lack of a direct railway connection to Tashkent meant that trains had to detour through Tajikistan, and the two countries often clashed with each other, causing great economic and security problems for Uzbekistan.
The construction of the "Angren-PAP" railway not only solves the transportation problem between the Ferghana Basin and Tashkent, but also saves Uzbekistan an annual transit fee of 25 million US dollars and avoids being stuck by Tajikistan. Moreover, this railway has also brought a broader development space to Uzbekistan, promoted the development of the country and abroad, improved the convenience of people's travel, and is of great significance for promoting the economic and social development of Uzbekistan.
However, Uzbekistan does not have the same strong technical force and economic support as our country, so it has encountered many challenges in the process of building this ** No. 1 project. The domestic population of Uzbekistan is very curious and curious about the equipment and engineering progress at the construction site, and they bring small benches ** Chinese workers to work on the construction site. This also reflects the relatively low level of technology in Uzbekistan in railway construction and other aspects.
The construction of railways in Uzbekistan necessarily involves the introduction and application of engineering technology and equipment, which is a novel challenge for Uzbekistan. Most people in Uzbekistan do not understand the purpose of these strange machines and equipment, nor do they understand the skills required by engineers to design and construct them. The construction of this railway is not only about filling soil and laying tracks, but also requires complex surveying, design, construction and other work, which has high technical requirements.
At the same time, the economic attaché of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in the Philippines, Mark Madov, said that Uzbekistan has encountered some difficulties in infrastructure construction due to its large land area, low population density, and abundant products. Moreover, as a backward country, Uzbekistan has a relatively underdeveloped economy and a low per capita GDP level, which also limits Uzbekistan's investment and progress in infrastructure construction.
Uzbekistan has a unique geographical location and a vast land area, but a relatively small population. Uzbekistan has a population of about 36.37 million (as of July 2023) and a total of more than 130 ethnic groups, of which 83 are Uzbeks8%, with ethnic Russians, Tajiks, Kazakhs, etc., accounting for the rest of the proportions. The land area of Uzbekistan is 44890,000 square kilometers, the capital is Tashkent. The country is divided into 1 republic, 12 states and 1 municipality.
Despite its vast territory, Uzbekistan has a low GDP per capita due to its relatively lagging economy. According to statistics, Uzbekistan's GDP per capita in 2022 was only 22552 US dollars, and our country's per capita GDP in the same period has reached about 12,000 US dollars, a difference of nearly 6 times. It can be said that there is a big gap between the economic level of Uzbekistan and that of China. As a result, Uzbekistan has invested relatively little in infrastructure development and has developed at a relatively slow pace.
Although Uzbekistan's No. 1 project may not have attracted much widespread attention in our country, we can see the challenges and dilemmas of infrastructure construction in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan's geographical particularity and relative economic lag make it necessary to rely on external forces for infrastructure construction, which also provides China with important cooperation opportunities.
Through the description and analysis of the No. 1 project in Uzbekistan, we can see that even a relatively short railway has far-reaching impact and important economic significance for a relatively underdeveloped country. Uzbekistan has listed it as the No. 1 project, not only because of its importance to the country's transportation and economy, but also because in a country like Uzbekistan, any infrastructure construction is a major event that cannot be ignored.
The success of the No. 1 project in Uzbekistan is not only a solution to transportation and economic problems, but also a demonstration of the results of cooperation between Uzbekistan and China. China has rich experience and advanced technology in infrastructure construction, and through cooperation with Uzbekistan, it has not only helped Uzbekistan solve its problems, but also made the cooperation between the two countries closer. This cooperation also reflects the tangible results of the Belt and Road Initiative, which has strengthened Uzbekistan's ties with other countries and promoted regional economic development through cooperation in infrastructure construction.
At the same time, we can also see from the construction process of the first project in Uzbekistan that the construction of a railway or other infrastructure requires complex technical work and a large amount of investment. China's success in large-scale infrastructure construction is due to long-term planning and determination, in addition to strong technical and financial support. The success of Uzbekistan's No. 1 project is also inseparable from the support of these factors.
In short, although the No. 1 project in Uzbekistan may not be a "high-level" project for our country, it has important economic significance in Uzbekistan. The construction of this project demonstrates China's strength and experience in infrastructure construction and strengthens ties between the two countries through cooperation with Uzbekistan. From this, we also see that the pyramid of infrastructure construction, whether domestic or international, needs to be achieved through step-by-step accumulation and efforts. For Uzbekistan, infrastructure development is the key to promoting economic and social development, and only by strengthening cooperation with other countries and introducing advanced technology and experience can it better solve challenges and dilemmas and achieve sustainable development. For China, by participating in the construction of the No. 1 project in Uzbekistan, it can not only obtain economic benefits, but also strengthen friendly relations with Uzbekistan, expand the scope of cooperation in the "Belt and Road", and achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. Therefore, the success of the No. 1 project in Uzbekistan has provided us with a lot of inspiration, which has important reference significance for our country and other countries.
