Belarusian PM: Belarus, Kyrgyzstan scaling up trade, economic cooperation

Monday, 29.09.2025 - 14:32

Belarus and Kyrgyzstan should boost bilateral cooperation in years to come, Belarusian Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin said as he met with Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration of the Kyrgyz Republic Adylbek Kasymaliev in Minsk on 29 September, BelTA has learned.

 
Aleksandr Turchin noted that this official visit is a significant event in the bilateral relations. Belarus and Kyrgyzstan are bound by a long-term partnership based on strong friendship and mutual respect.

 

 

“Of course, we meet regularly and effectively on the platforms of integration associations like the EAEU and the CIS. We have high hopes for the intensification of interaction in the SCO format. We sincerely congratulate the Kyrgyz Republic on assuming the presidency in this important organization,” Aleksandr Turchin said. “Nevertheless, given our allied relations, I suggest we systematize the holding of mutual bilateral official contacts from now on.”

 

 

The basis of the Belarusian-Kyrgyz relations is trade and economic cooperation, which covers a wide range of areas. Mutual trade shows positive trends even in the difficult geopolitical situation. In 2024, trade between the countries increased by more than 15%. This year, the trend of growing supplies from both sides continues. Building on this growth rate is the top priority for the bilateral intergovernmental commission on trade and economic cooperation, which is overseen by the vice-premiers.

 

 

 

As the prime minister noted, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan have significant potential for stepping up cooperation in such key areas as mechanical engineering, agriculture, and innovative technology. The parties see prospects in expanding industrial cooperation.

 

 

The 12th session of the commission held in Bishkek in November 2024, saw the adoption of ambitious plans to increase trade to $500 million over the next five years. To hit this ambitious mark, the parties are implementing a cooperation roadmap running until 2027. A new roadmap for the period until 2030 was signed today.
 
“The driving force is undoubtedly industrial cooperation, which best showcases the complementary nature of our economies,” Aleksandr Turchin said. “Belarus and Kyrgyzstan have significant potential for stepping up cooperation in such key areas as mechanical engineering, agriculture, and innovative technology. However, we should not focus only on the supply volumes. The qualitative component is also important. We see prospects in expanding industrial cooperation. These areas, taken together, open up wide opportunities for joint exchange of experience and the implementation of high-tech projects that are beneficial to both sides. We know that housing construction is actively underway in your country, and infrastructure and road facilities are being built. Attention is also paid to ecology.”
 
Belarus and Kyrgyzstan are implementing joint projects, particularly in the assembly of elevators and transformers. These projects have the potential for scaling up. Interaction has been established at the interregional level, and business contacts are actively developing. A notable event was the business forum of the business circles of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan held at the Belagro agricultural expo in Minsk in June 2025.
 
“It is important to continue holding such forums. Belarus has built up a solid portfolio of modern export financing tools, with operational international financial leasing mechanisms and the requisite agreements between Belarus’ Development Bank and Kyrgyz banks. I suggest our Kyrgyz friends use these opportunities more actively to promote their interests,” Aleksandr Turchin noted.
 
The parties also discussed humanitarian cooperation. More and more opportunities are opening up for the younger generation of Kyrgyzstan to receive education at Belarusian educational institutions. The expansion of ties in culture, sports, and tourism will help strengthen the foundation of the relations and enrich them.
 
“We are open to discussing various avenues of mutually beneficial cooperation and to expanding economic ties. I am confident that this meeting will result in the signing of a package of documents that will give a new impulse to the Belarusian-Kyrgyz cooperation,” Aleksandr Turchin said.

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
