BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, March 27. Kyrgyzstan will
host the upcoming session of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council
in August of this year, Trend reports via the country's Cabinet of
Ministers.
This announcement was made during the visit of Adylbek
Kasymaliev, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the
Presidential Administration of Kyrgyzstan, to the extended session
of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council.
In his address, Adylbek Kasymaliev expressed gratitude to
Kazakhstan, which currently holds the EAEU chairmanship, for its
warm hospitality. He also highlighted key socio-economic
achievements of the Union over the past five years, alongside
several pressing current issues.
"By the end of 2025, all member states observed GDP growth
compared to 2020. During this period, mutual trade volumes between
member states saw a significant increase. Over the last five years,
Kyrgyzstan has also experienced notable economic growth. This
clearly demonstrates that the Strategy has played a pivotal role in
defining the right directions for cooperation among our countries,"
he stated.
In addition to economic indicators, Adylbek Kasymaliev addressed
several important Union-related matters. He pointed out that the
EAEU Treaty outlines a coordinated policy on labor migration and
the free movement of the workforce.
"However, when developing national legislative initiatives in
this sensitive area, full interaction and coordination are not
always achieved. I propose that the Commission, in collaboration
with our governments, explore the creation of a permanent platform
for consultations at the level of agency heads on migration
policy," he suggested.
The Prime Minister also underscored the importance of ensuring
logistics efficiency, deeming it a critical issue. He emphasized
that digital solutions play a key role in enhancing transparency
and expediting logistics processes. In certain cases, he noted,
control measures may be imposed at delivery points, including
additional taxes, confiscation, or even destruction of goods.
Furthermore, it was highlighted that the Union has begun the
implementation of the Roadmap for the Declaration on Development,
"Eurasian Economic Way," which outlines ambitious integration
goals. Several other significant matters were also discussed during
the meeting.
"Digital transformation, industrial cooperation, and innovation
are the three central pillars for the Union’s future development.
Within the Union, we must consistently advance modern
infrastructure, train highly qualified personnel, and refine the
regulatory framework. I am confident that the decisions made today
will significantly contribute to the ongoing prosperity of our
Union," he concluded.
During the regular sessions of the Eurasian Intergovernmental
Council, both in limited and extended formats, 13 issues were
considered, and several key documents were signed.
