BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 24. Kyrgyzstan and the
European Union discuss development of bilateral cooperation.


This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan.


This was discussed on June 24, 2026, during a meeting between
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic Meder
Abakirov and Head of the Delegation of the European Union to the
Kyrgyz Republic Rémi Duflot.


“During the meeting, the sides noted the positive dynamics of
interaction between the Kyrgyz Republic and the European Union,
which is confirmed by bilateral political contacts,” the statement
said.


The parties paid special attention to the inclusion of Kyrgyz
honey in the relevant registers of the European Commission and the
removal of Kyrgyz air carriers from the European Union Air Safety
List.







For his part, the Deputy Minister emphasized that these
achievements in bilateral cooperation open up new opportunities for
domestic producers, contribute to the development of the country’s
export potential, expansion of tourism and business ties, as well
as investment opportunities.


At the end of the meeting, the sides confirmed their mutual
commitment to further strengthening constructive dialogue and
developing partnership based on mutual trust and respect.


Meanwhile, the discussion between Kyrgyzstan and the European
Union highlights the gradual expansion of cooperation beyond the
political sphere toward practical economic issues. The inclusion of
Kyrgyz honey in European Commission registers could create
additional opportunities for local agricultural producers by
improving access to the EU market, while the removal of Kyrgyz
airlines from the EU Air Safety List may support the development of
tourism, business mobility, and transport connectivity.


The meeting also reflects Kyrgyzstan’s broader efforts to
strengthen economic ties with European partners and increase
participation in international markets. Further cooperation may
focus on trade facilitation, investment projects, sustainable
development, digitalization, energy, and infrastructure.
