Kyrgyzstan and Venezuela discuss cooperation in fisheries and aquaculture

BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 17. Kyrgyzstan and
Venezuela discuss cooperation in fisheries and aquaculture

This was stated by the press service of the Kyrgyz Ministry of
Agriculture, Water Resources and Regional Development.

This was discussed at an online meeting between Deputy Minister
Rustam Baltabaev and representatives of the Ministry of People's
Power for Fisheries and Aquaculture of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela, as well as with the Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of Venezuela to the Kyrgyz Republic, Rosalba Lo
Bue.

"In the course of the meeting, the parties discussed prospects
for the development of bilateral cooperation in the field of
fisheries and aquaculture. Particular attention was paid to issues
of technical exchange, the development of trade in fishery and
aquaculture products, as well as strengthening interaction between
relevant agencies of the two countries," the statement said.

The Venezuelan side expressed interest in developing cooperation
in the field of fisheries and aquaculture, including technical,
veterinary-sanitary and legal aspects of industry regulation.

The sides confirmed mutual interest in further expanding
cooperation and agreed to continue working on the preparation and
conclusion of a bilateral document that will serve as the basis for
the development of cooperation in the field of fisheries and
aquaculture between the Kyrgyz Republic and the Bolivarian Republic
of Venezuela.

The dialogue between Kyrgyzstan and Venezuela reflects a broader
trend of expanding diplomatic and sectoral engagement between
geographically distant countries through niche economic areas such
as fisheries and aquaculture. While trade volumes between the two
states remain limited, cooperation in specialized sectors can serve
as a foundation for building institutional ties and knowledge
exchange.

The focus on technical, veterinary-sanitary, and regulatory
aspects suggests that both sides are aiming to establish a
structured framework for future cooperation rather than short-term
trade initiatives.
