MINSK, 29 September (BelTA) – Belarus and Kyrgyzstan have signed a package of cooperation documents following a meeting between Belarusian Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin and Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration of the Kyrgyz Republic Adylbek Kasymaliev in Minsk on 29 September, BelTA has learned.
The parties signed a roadmap for the development of trade and economic cooperation through 2030. With the participation of Belarusian Communications and Informatization Minister Kirill Zalessky, an interagency memorandum of cooperation in digital development was concluded.
Belarusian Interior Minister Ivan Kubrakov took part in the signing of an agreement between the Government of Belarus and the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan regulating the stay of citizens in each other’s territories. The agreement, aimed at deepening friendly relations and formalizing travel arrangements, is designed to facilitate travel for both nations.
Under the new rules, citizens of one country temporarily staying in the territory of the other are exempt from the obligation to register for 30 calendar days from the date of entry. The countdown starts from the date of entry, confirmed by the border service stamp. If the stay exceeds this period, the obligation to register in accordance with the legislation of the host country comes into effect.
An agreement on readmission was also signed between the governments of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.
In addition, the parties identified avenues for interaction in science, education, culture, physical culture and sports, environmental protection, and other areas.
“We have outlined joint steps to boost cooperation across a wide range of issues. The Kyrgyz side has been offered cooperation in the supply of Belarusian agricultural, utility, and quarry machinery, the advancement of industrial cooperation, and the establishment of assembly facilities for elevator equipment and transformers. We have agreed on interaction in agriculture, primarily in animal husbandry and veterinary science, as well as food supplies,” Aleksandr Turchin said.
The parties also focused on the environmental agenda, the implementation of solid municipal waste recycling projects, infrastructure improvement, and interregional ties.
