The 13th meeting of the intergovernmental council between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in an expanded format was held in Astana today.
The meeting was chaired by the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration, Adylbek Kasymaliev, and the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Olzhas Bektenov.
The meeting considered current issues of Kyrgyz-Kazakh cooperation in the trade, economic, water, energy, cultural, humanitarian, and other spheres.
Adylbek Kasymaliev, in his speech, noted the main directions of cooperation between the two countries and outlined priority areas.
"In recent years, relations between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan have reached a high level of strategic partnership, developing from good neighbourly relations to trusting allied relations. All this is being implemented thanks to the political will of our Heads of State", he said.
Adylbek Kasymaliev noted the activation of bilateral relations in the sphere of trade and investment. For the 9 months of the current year, the volume of mutual trade amounted to $1.7 billion, which is 15 per cent more than in the same period in 2024. For the 6 months of the current year, direct investments from Kazakhstan to Kyrgyzstan amounted to almost $64 million.
"This testifies to the trust of the Kazakh business community in Kyrgyzstan and the wide opportunities for new projects. It is necessary to pay special attention to a number of significant projects and initiatives that can take our cooperation to a new level," he said.
During the Kyrgyz-Kazakh Intergovernmental meeting, current areas of cooperation in a number of spheres were outlined.
In particular, these include the creation of an industrial trade and logistics complex in the border area, as well as a wholesale distribution centre for storing fruits and vegetables in the Almaty region. This project will ensure uninterrupted supplies of agricultural products.
Furthermore, they discussed the development of a mechanism for the supply of oil and oil products from Kazakhstan to Kyrgyzstan based on an intergovernmental agreement.
The completion of the reconstruction of the Kichi-Kapka–Besagash, Ak-Tilek–Karasuu, and Karkyra–Kegen checkpoints within the established deadlines, which will give a significant impetus to bilateral trade, as well as the restoration of the Nizhny Chuy–Ak-Suu checkpoint, was also noted.
The parties stressed the need to expand interregional ties that contribute to the activation of bilateral trade and the creation of new business opportunities.
The Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan and the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan noted that the task has been set to increase trade turnover between the two countries to $3 billion by 2030, and they assured that the relevant work in this direction will be intensified.
Olzhas Bektenov stated that Kazakhstan will make every effort to further promote bilateral cooperation, implement previously reached agreements, and implement agreements in the interests of the well-being of the two fraternal peoples.
In addition, reports from representatives of the state bodies of the two countries on issues of trade, economy, water resources, and energy were heard at the meeting.
Following the 13th meeting of the intergovernmental council between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, the parties signed the meeting protocol. The protocol considered issues of cooperation in the sphere of trade and economy, investment, water and energy, culture and tourism, and interregional cooperation.
