An unnamed mountain peak in Kyrgyzstan’s Ala-Archa State Nature Park is set to become the “Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit,” after President Sadyr Japarov signed a decree supporting the designation.
The peak stands 4,050 meters above sea level in the Alamüdün district of Chüy region. The proposed geographic name links the mountain to the 25th anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and to Kyrgyzstan’s planned hosting of the organization’s Council of Heads of State in 2026.
The decree instructs the Cabinet of Ministers to consider the naming under the established procedure. It must also prepare a relevant draft law and submit it to the Jogorku Kenesh, Kyrgyzstan’s parliament, within three months.
