BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 2. Minister of Foreign
Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic Jeenbek Kulubaev met with Federal
Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany
Johann Wadephul in New York to review bilateral economic ties and
address regional stability challenges stemming from EU sanctions
policies, Trend
reports via Kyrgyz MFA.
The diplomatic consultation focused on structuring upcoming
high-level state visits and accelerating investment partnerships in
the trade and commercial sectors.
During the session, Kulubaev raised official concerns regarding
the economic impact of European Union sanctions, detailing the
specific risks that unilateral trade restrictions impose on the
socio-economic stability of Central Asian nations. The Kyrgyz
foreign minister noted that while Bishkek strictly adheres to its
international compliance obligations and maintains open regulatory
channels with the EU to prevent sanctions evasion, the government
views transparent, peer-to-peer economic partnerships as a more
effective alternative to restrictive measures. The ministers also
coordinated positions on multilateral agendas within the United
Nations, the OSCE, and the EU framework to align regional security
and trade metrics moving forward.
