"Trade turnover between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan exceeded $1.2 billion in the first nine months of 2024, which was 1.6% higher than the same period in 2023," reads the report.
Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers - Head of the Presidential Administration of Kyrgyzstan Akylbek Japarov emphasized the importance of further developing cooperation.
"President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov attaches great importance to strengthening friendly and good-neighbourly relations with Kazakhstan. The official visit of our president to Kazakhstan in April of this year gave a historical character and opened a new era in Kyrgyz-Kazakh relations. I believe that the agreement signed this year on deepening and expanding allied relations will open up new opportunities for the further development of Kyrgyz-Kazakh cooperation and will contribute to strengthening the centuries-old fraternal ties between the two peoples," said Akylbek Japarov.
Over the first eight months of 2024, the volume of export-import cargo transportation by road between the two countries increased by 4.1% and amounted to 3 million tons.
In addition, attention was paid to the Almaty-Bishkek Economic Corridor initiative.
