Japarov: UN Security Council Election Will Change Kyrgyzstan's Future

Kyrgyzstan's election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2027-2028 marks a significant diplomatic triumph, President Sadyr Japarov announced. He described the achievement, alongside Kyrgyzstan's removal from the European Union's aviation safety blacklist after two decades, as pivotal moments that elevate the nation's international prestige and alter its future trajectory.

Speaking at a state awards ceremony in Cholpon-Ata, Japarov highlighted that 142 countries unanimously supported Kyrgyzstan's candidacy for the UN Security Council. He characterized this broad support as the highest international valuation of the country's foreign policy and stability. The election, he stated, demonstrates the global community's commitment to historical justice and ensuring equal rights for all nations within the UN's primary body.

Japarov attributed these successes to the tireless efforts of Kyrgyzstan's ambassadors, consuls general, and the entire staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its foreign missions. He extended his sincere congratulations to all involved, emphasizing that their experience and dedication will continue to strengthen the country's international standing and advance its foreign policy priorities.

The removal from the EU's aviation blacklist, a restriction that had been in place for over 20 years, was also celebrated. Japarov credited coordinated efforts by state bodies and systematic reforms in civil aviation for overcoming this long-standing barrier. This achievement opens European skies to Kyrgyzstan, signifying a major step forward in international aviation relations.
