Kyrgyz Parliament Committee Reviews Embassy Activities in Closed Session

A committee of the Jogorku Kenesh (parliament) is conducting a closed-door review of the operational activities of several diplomatic missions. This shift to private sessions marks a new approach to assessing the performance of Kyrgyzstan's embassies and consulates abroad.

Elvira Surabaldieva, head of the committee on International Affairs, Defense, Security, and Migration, stated that the decision to hold these discussions in a closed regime was made to allow for a more candid evaluation of the diplomatic representatives' work. Previously, such information was presented and discussed in open sessions.

On the current agenda are reports from the Kyrgyz Embassy in Belarus for the years 2023-2025, the Embassy in the United Arab Emirates for 2025 and January-May 2026, and the Consulate General in Almaty for 2024-2025 and the first half of 2026. These reviews are crucial for monitoring and potentially improving Kyrgyzstan's foreign relations and consular services.

It was decided that the hearing of information about the activities of diplomatic missions will now take place in a closed session.
