Bishkek, Nov. 11, 2022. /Kabar/. “In the context of the current crisis, our countries need to cooperate even more closely to expand trade relations within the Organization and find new supply chains,” President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov emphasized in his speech during the IX meeting of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) in Samarkand city of Uzbekistan.
The head of state noted that the growth of trade between Kyrgyzstan and the OTS countries in 2021 increased by 40 percent.
“The economies of our countries have not yet fully recovered from the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic and are already experiencing new shocks due to international tensions. In order to increase exports and imports, it is necessary to optimize the trade structure, create joint export-oriented production, and develop investment ties. For the further progressive development of our trade and economic cooperation, the issue of transport is certainly important. As you know, in the near future we plan to begin the practical implementation of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway construction project. This project will complement the railway lines and road links of the Trans-Caspian transport route, accelerating the delivery of goods to Western countries,” Sadyr Zhaparov emphasized.
