A KOICA team conducted preliminary studies for the feasibility study of the project last week, AzerNews reported.

Once the agreement is signed, the authorities will select the companies to execute the $4m study in early 2016

The two countries had signed the memorandum of understanding for the study during Uzbekistan President Islam Karimov’s official visit to Seoul in May. The agencies had agreed to promote 11 grant programmes for three years between 2015 and2017.

The KOICA representative office said: "At the request of the Uzbek Government, for the speedy implementation of the project, the Korean side will comprehensively prepare for its implementation, develop a feasibility study, which differs from the earlier developed ones, approve the necessary funding for the project and develop a master plan."
