BISHKEK -- Kyrgyzstan's government is expected to adopt a decree to establish four permanent checkpoints along the nation's border to halt the movement of illegal goods, 24.kg reported.

The measure was announced Tuesday (June 5) by Minister of Economy Oleg Pankratov at a meeting of the parliamentary committee on economic and fiscal policy.
