Kyrgyzstan has reported progress with neighboring Uzbekistan in demarcating their common border, RFE/RL\'s Kyrgyz Service reported. Salamat Alamanov, the Kyrgyz government official in charge of regional affairs, told RFE/RL that topographical engineers from both countries have agreed on additional kilometers of the disputed border. \"As a result of consultations conducted at the level of experts, about 2.5 kilometers of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border have been defined,\" he said. \"Those results have now to be discussed at the level of [government] delegations. They will then be sent to the governments [of both countries] for approval.\" Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan share a 1,375-kilometer border. The 300 kilometers or so that remain in dispute have led to a number of border incidents. Kyrgyzstan also shares common borders with China, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan. China is the only country with which it has no border disputes. (RFE/RL)
