Alexei Overchuk chairs meeting of Russia-Kyrgyzstan Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technical, and Humanitarian Cooperation
Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk, along with Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration of the Kyrgyz Republic Adylbek Kasymaliev, co-chaired the 26th meeting of the Russia- Kyrgyzstan Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technical, and Humanitarian Cooperation. The event took place in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic.
The co-chairs of the Commission coordinated the implementation of joint projects in the trade, economic, and humanitarian spheres, reviewed the intergovernmental commission’s performance over the past year, and emphasised the positive role of Eurasian integration processes in promoting economic growth in the Kyrgyz Republic. Special focus was placed on cooperation within the Eurasian Economic Union.
Alexei Overchuk noted the traditionally friendly nature of Russian-Kyrgyzstani relations: “The Kyrgyz Republic is our strategic partner and ally. Russian- Kyrgyzstani cooperation, built on a long history, mutual respect, and trust, is multifaceted and marked by shared approaches to regional and global issues and a common commitment to developing integration processes in Eurasia,” the Deputy Prime Minister stressed.
The Chairman of the Russian Intergovernmental Commission highlighted that Russia, which accounted for 22 percent of Kyrgyzstan’s foreign trade in 2025, remained one of the republic’s key trade and economic partners. Trade between Russia and Kyrgyzstan increased by 15.1 percent in January–August 2025, reaching $3 billion.
Trade and economic cooperation between the two countries increasingly relies on national currencies. The share of the Russian rouble in bilateral settlements in the first eight months of 2025 reached 96.7 percent.
