Bishkek, Oct. 26, 2023 . / Kabar / . During his speech at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS CHG), Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Akylbek Zhaparov drew attention to the issue of water and energy resources utilization by the countries of the region.

"Taking into account that almost half of the region's water resources are formed on the territory of our country, we realize our high responsibility in the issue of water supply. In this context, taking into account the negative climatic impact on the zone of water resources formation, as well as the deterioration of water infrastructure in the countries of the region, we advocate the continuation of timely measures and the implementation of relevant projects in the field of irrigation, energy and infrastructure aimed at the efficient use of water and land resources, providing cheap and environmentally friendly electricity, as well as adaptation to climate change.

In this regard, Kyrgyzstan proposes and promotes the establishment of a mutually beneficial compensation mechanism for the integrated use of water and energy resources in Central Asia," he concluded.
