CIS is a platform for strengthening multifaceted cooperation, says Kyrgyzstan's Kasymaliev

From Bishkek, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) represents more than just a forum; it is a vital artery for our nation's economic and logistical integration. First Deputy Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliev's participation in the CIS Heads of Government Council meeting underscores Kyrgyzstan's commitment to deepening these ties.

“

The CIS has become an important platform for strengthening multifaceted cooperation.

The figures speak for themselves: our trade with CIS nations surpassed $7 billion last year, marking a significant 9% growth. This isn't merely about numbers; it reflects the tangible benefits of our cooperative economic policies and the strengthening of supply chains that directly impact our citizens and businesses.

“

The Commonwealth's economic agenda demonstrates stable positive dynamics. Mutual trade, industrial cooperation, and investment ties are growing.

Kyrgyzstan is actively pushing for initiatives that streamline trade, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and enhance the predictability of our business environment. The focus on developing transport corridors and embracing digital solutions for foreign trade operations is crucial for unlocking our landlocked nation's full potential. We see these efforts as essential for fostering sustainable growth and ensuring that Kyrgyzstan remains a key transit hub within the region.

“

Kyrgyzstan's trade turnover with CIS countries exceeded $7 billion in 2025 and grew by more than 9 percent compared to 2024.

Furthermore, as we prepare to host significant international events like the World Nomad Games, we extend a warm invitation to our CIS partners. These gatherings are not just cultural exchanges; they are opportunities to showcase our unique heritage, strengthen diplomatic bonds, and explore new avenues for collaboration. Our participation in the CIS is a testament to our belief in shared prosperity and mutual development.

“

It is important to focus joint efforts on implementing projects to improve mutual trade conditions, reduce administrative barriers, and increase the predictability of the business environment, develop industrial cooperation and value chains, as well as strengthen transport corridors and digitalize foreign trade operations.
