During a meeting, the parties prepared the legal and technical documents that regulate the process for their subsequent approval, local television said on Monday .

A timetable was also agreed upon to inspect several sections of the border.

The border between both countries is over 1,300 km-long, the longest shared by Kyrgyzstan with a neighboring country.

During decades, the two nations have had differences over certain sections of the border, as a result of obtaining their independence after the disappearance of the Soviet Union, which both countries were a part of.

The process of the arrangement began back in 2017. The President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, visited Bishkek early this year and signed the documents on the zones in dispute.
