Ensuring public safety and order is fundamental to the state's successful development.
Kasymaliev emphasized that ensuring public safety and order is fundamental to the state's successful development. He highlighted that the National Development Program for Kyrgyzstan until 2030 sets ambitious goals for economic growth, citizen well-being, and industrialization. Achieving these strategic objectives, he stated, is impossible without stability, strict adherence to the law, and societal security.
He noted that significant reforms have been implemented in the country over the past five years under President Sadyr Japarov's leadership. Alongside substantial increases in salaries, pensions, and social benefits, the state is systematically upgrading the material and technical base of government bodies. Specifically, within the Ministry of Internal Affairs system, 280 new buildings have been constructed, and approximately 300 other facilities have been renovated, creating modern working conditions for staff and improved services for citizens.
In the National Program for the Development of the Kyrgyz Republic until 2030, ambitious tasks are defined to ensure sustainable economic growth, improve the well-being of citizens, and industrialize the country. Achieving these strategic goals is impossible without stability, strict adherence to the law, and security in society.
Kasymaliev also focused on the progress of the "Safe Country" project, which has already deployed around 10,000 surveillance cameras in streets, public spaces, and tourist sites across the republic. The plan is to expand this network to 20,000 cameras by the end of 2026. He stressed that this technological upgrade must be accompanied by enhanced professionalism and discipline among law enforcement personnel, asserting that modern equipment is most effective in the hands of skilled and principled officers dedicated to upholding the law and public trust.
High results are achieved only when modern technology is in the hands of professional and principled personnel. Every police officer is obliged to strictly adhere to the law, ensure justice, and strengthen citizens' trust in state institutions through their work.
