BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 25. Kyrgyzstan is
interested in expanding international cooperation in digital trade
and artificial intelligence, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers
and Head of the Presidential Administration of Kyrgyzstan Adylbek
Kasymaliev said in Hangzhou on September 24.


According to the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers of
Kyrgyzstan, Adylbek Kasymaliev made the remarks while speaking at
the opening ceremony of the fifth Global Digital Trade Expo during
his working visit to China.


"In his speech, the Cabinet chairman noted that digital trade is
no longer simply another area of global trade, but is becoming new
infrastructure for the global economy," the statement said.


He noted that digital trade is becoming the new infrastructure
of the global economy, rather than merely a separate segment of
international trade.


Adylbek Kasymaliev noted that Kyrgyzstan welcomes China's
initiative to establish the World Organization for Cooperation in
Artificial Intelligence.


He emphasized that Kyrgyzstan became one of the first founding
states of the new international structure and is ready to actively
participate in its work.







The Cabinet chairman outlined several areas for cooperation in
digital trade, including e-commerce, digital logistics within the
China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project, digital payments, and
the introduction of artificial intelligence-based solutions for
small and medium-sized businesses.


In addition, Kyrgyzstan is interested in the joint development
of data centers, technology transfer centers and training of
specialists in the digital sector.


"We are landlocked, but in the digital world, distance is not an
obstacle. Kyrgyzstan is open to investment and technological
partnership," Kasymaliev said.


Meanwhile, Kyrgyzstan has been developing its digital economy as
part of broader efforts to expand trade, investment and
connectivity. The country has been pursuing digitalization across
public services, financial services, logistics and business, while
seeking to attract technology and investment partners.


Cooperation with China has also included digital connectivity
and infrastructure alongside broader economic engagement. The
development of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway is expected
to create additional opportunities for logistics and trade,
including through the use of digital technologies.
