The heads of the water and energy ministries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan held talks in Tashkent, Qazinform News Agency reports, citing the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan.

The main outcome of the meeting was the signing of a trilateral protocol that formalized the agreed volumes and release schedules of water from the Toktogul Reservoir for the next two months. Ensuring sufficient water supply for the southern regions during the growing season was the key issue on the agenda.

The signing of the protocol guarantees adherence to the water release schedules from the Toktogul Hydroelectric Power Plant and removes uncertainty for farmers at the start of the season. This will allow Kazakh and Uzbek farmers to complete the initial stage of irrigation work smoothly and without disruptions.
