Kyrgyzstan should deepen its economic ties with China by moving beyond simple trade to establish joint production and industrial cooperation, according to Temir Sariev, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Speaking at the Kyrgyzstan-China Investment Forum, Sariev proposed a concrete goal: the creation of 100 genuinely operating joint ventures. "Not 100 memorandums. Not 100 protocols of intent. But 100 genuinely operating enterprises in Kyrgyzstan, with Chinese investment and technology, and Kyrgyz partners and specialists," he stated.
Sariev believes that launching new production facilities will be a catalyst for economic growth. Such initiatives, he explained, would attract crucial investment and modern technologies, generate thousands of jobs, and build new economic chains. Furthermore, these ventures would bolster small and medium-sized businesses and boost the export of high-value products, enhancing Kyrgyzstan's economic landscape.
