Andijan Region & China CAMCE Plan Water and Waste Projects
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Andijan regional administration held talks with China CAMCE International at the fifth Tashkent International Investment Forum, agreeing to move toward practical implementation of joint infrastructure projects covering water supply, sewage systems, and waste processing.
The meeting was led by Andijan Regional Hokim Shuhratbek Abdurakhmonov and focused on a set of utility infrastructure priorities that reflect the pressures facing one of Uzbekistan's most densely populated regions. Andijan oblast, located in the Fergana Valley, carries some of the highest population densities in Central Asia — a demographic reality that sharpens the urgency of modernising communal services.
Discussions centred on plans to construct modern water supply and sewage systems across Andijan's cities and densely populated districts. Particular attention was paid to accelerating an existing waste processing project and assessing the population's needs for clean drinking water access and engineering communications services — a framing that positions the initiative as a quality-of-life intervention as much as an infrastructure investment.
China CAMCE International, an engineering and construction arm operating under China's state-owned enterprise network, brings project execution capacity at scale — relevant for a regional program that would need to serve multiple urban centres simultaneously.
Both sides agreed to begin practical implementation of joint initiatives and to conduct deeper study of the identified project areas, suggesting technical and feasibility work is the immediate next step before capital commitments are formalised.
Regional authorities characterised the forum engagement as an important step toward building modern infrastructure in Andijan, improving living standards, and drawing in new investment — priorities that align with Uzbekistan's broader push to extend its investment-driven development agenda beyond Tashkent to the country's regions.
