Kyrgyzstan “brilliantly” handled its role as chair of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, according to Secretary-General Nurlan Yermekbayev after the SCO summit in Bishkek.

The chairmanship coincided with the organisation’s 25th anniversary, creating a double task for Kyrgyzstan. It had to manage the chairmanship while also organising anniversary events, not only celebrations but substantive work as well.

“Let me note that Kyrgyzstan handled this task brilliantly,” Yermekbayev said. During its chairmanship, the country held more than 200 events.

The period also saw the launch of meetings among heads of ports and logistics centres, national standardisation bodies and national human rights institutions. Special working groups were created on transport cooperation, railway research, physical education and sport.
