Kyrgyzstan-Belarus trade surges 54% in 2025

Kyrgyzstan and Belarus are deepening their economic ties, with mutual trade surging by 54% to nearly $206 million in 2025. This growth aligns with a directive from the leaders of both nations to significantly enhance bilateral cooperation.

Adylbek Kasymaliyev, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, highlighted the positive trajectory of trade and economic relations. He emphasized the potential for deeper industrial and technological collaboration, noting that a roadmap aims to boost mutual trade to $500 million by 2030. The establishment of a Kyrgyz-Belarusian business council is expected to strengthen direct contacts between business communities.

The leaders of our states have set a clear and ambitious task – to bring Kyrgyz-Belarusian cooperation to a qualitatively new level, filling it with concrete practical content. Today, the main task of the governments of the two countries is to ensure the unconditional and effective implementation of these agreements, turning the political will of the leaders into real economic and social dividends for our citizens.

Kasymaliyev expressed interest in joint efforts to expand Kyrgyz products in the Belarusian market. He pointed to machine building, electrical engineering, utility vehicles, and the processing industry as promising areas for cooperation. Kyrgyzstan seeks not only to import finished goods but also to localize production, establish joint ventures, and facilitate technology transfer.

Beyond trade, the countries are exploring collaboration in agriculture, food security, energy, and tourism. Kyrgyzstan also proposed opening a regular flight route and confirmed readiness to host Belarus's cultural days in 2027. Additionally, Kyrgyzstan thanked Belarus for its support in its bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for 2027-2028.

We are interested in joint work to expand the presence of Kyrgyz products in the Belarusian market. One of the most promising areas of our cooperation is industrial cooperation. Kyrgyzstan is interested not only in importing finished products but also in deep localization of production, creation of joint ventures, technology transfer, and development of modern service infrastructure.
