BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, April 6. Kyrgyzstan's
Minister of Energy, Taalaibek Ibraev, and Russia’s Minister of
Energy, Sergei Tsivilev, have signed an agreement that is expected
to elevate the country’s energy sector to a qualitatively new
level, Trend
reports, citing the Kyrgyz energy ministry.
The agreement opens up extensive opportunities for Kyrgyzstan,
including the integration of advanced technologies, active
knowledge exchange, and, most notably, the establishment of joint
production facilities.
Minister Taalaibek Ibraev emphasized the agreement's
significance, stating that it represents a crucial step in
modernizing Kyrgyzstan's energy infrastructure, facilitating the
introduction of new technologies, and bolstering domestic
production capabilities.
In turn, Minister Tsivilev of Russia underscored the strategic
importance of the agreement. He remarked, "This memorandum forms
the basis for long-term contracts for the supply of Russian
electrical equipment to Kyrgyzstan."
He further noted that both parties aim to foster technology
exchange and localize production, marking an essential milestone in
the joint development of the energy sector.
Against the backdrop of Kyrgyzstan’s already steadily growing
energy sector, the new agreement is expected to significantly
accelerate this momentum.
The implementation of joint projects could lead to the launch of
modern production facilities, the creation of new jobs, and the
strengthening of the domestic market. Furthermore, the expansion of
production will boost the country’s export potential and have a
direct positive impact on the economy.
