Belarus intends to expand cooperation with Kyrgyzstan across the spectrum of relations

Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Alexander Terekhov met with Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Erlist Akunbekov. It's reported by sb.by.

During the meeting, it was stated that Belarus intends to expand cooperation with Kyrgyzstan in the entire spectrum of bilateral relations. At the same time, the economy naturally occupies the central place in the joint agenda. A significant advantage is the participation of both countries in the Eurasian Economic Union. The Common Economic Space opens up opportunities for the free circulation of goods, eliminates customs barriers in mutual trade, ensures the application of agreed technical, sanitary and other requirements. The task of the two countries is to ensure that the benefits of integration are more clearly reflected in the real volume and structure of trade.

In recent years, trade indicators between Belarus and Kyrgyzstan have shown positive dynamics. At the same time, it is not just a question of quantitative increase in mutual supplies. The list of goods is gradually expanding, which indicates the emergence of new opportunities for enterprises of the two countries. Special importance is attached to the first Forum of Regions of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. This is an important event for the development of Belarusian-Kyrgyz relations, which will bring interregional cooperation to a more systemic level.
