In anticipation of the official visit of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Astana, scheduled for the near future, representatives of the Ministries of Ecology of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan held talks on the implementation of a joint environmental project.
During the meeting, the Kazakh side presented a project to create an International Center, the activities of which will focus on the implementation of a program to green the dried-up bed of the Aral Sea. This initiative is particularly relevant in light of recent scientific research, which indicates a gradual “revitalization” of the Aral Sea due to an increase in water inflow.
The issue of reviving the Aral Sea, once the fourth largest lake in the world, is one of the priorities on the environmental agenda of Central Asia. The creation of an International Center that unites the efforts and resources of interested countries can be an important step towards restoring the Aral Sea ecosystem and improving the socio-economic situation in the region.
Details of the project, including its financing, organizational structure and specific activities, will be discussed at a higher level during President Mirziyoyev’s visit to Kazakhstan.
