Special attention will be paid to the implementation of one of the largest projects in the region—the second phase of the construction of the city of Arkadag.
Additionally, to improve the living conditions of the population, investments will be directed toward the construction of residential buildings, healthcare facilities, secondary schools, kindergartens, roads, water, gas, and energy supply systems, communication networks, and water treatment facilities.
