According to the latest information, the Uzbek side has moved away from the earlier agreement to sign a document related to 1,007 km of the borderline and proposes revising the earlier agreement related to 300 km of border with economically profitable facilities: the oil rich Burgondu Valley and the Orto-Toko water reservoir. The total stretch of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border is 1,378 km (see: Interview with Kurbanaby Iskandarov, Special Representative of the Government on Border Delimitation Issues, Bishkek, June 2014).
