Bishkek, Feb. 28 / Kabar /. Kyrgyzstan remains a very important partner for Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday in Bishkek during a bilateral meeting with his Kyrgyz counterpart Almazbek Atambayev.
“The fact that Russia is Kyrgyzstan’s number one trading partner is highly satisfying for all of us. Although trade and economic ties slightly declined in value terms, physical volumes showed positive momentum. Still, we have much to discuss given the scope of the relations between our countries, Putin said.
President Atambayev stressed that they have succeeded in not only putting the relations between Kyrgyzstan and Russia back on track, but also elevating them to a strategic partnership. “This is how the relations between two countries with a shared past and, as I strongly believe, with a shared future should be. This is the level of relations two brotherly nations should have,” he said.
During the meeting the sides discussed a wide range of Kyrgyz-Russian relations, the implementation of joint projects in various spheres and prospects of further development of bilateral cooperation.
