Kyrgyzstan's Issyk-Kul region aims to attract Kazakh investors for joint projects. This was announced on October 30 by Bakytbek Zhetigenov, the authorized representative of the President of Kyrgyzstan in the Issyk-Kul region, during the Second Kyrgyz-Kazakh Interregional Cooperation Forum.
Areas of cooperation and infrastructure
As part of deepening cooperation between the regions, specific areas for joint work were discussed. These include industry, tourism and trade. The presidential representative also noted that transport infrastructure is important for developing business ties.
In particular, in 2025 the Issyk-Kul and Almaty regions signed a comprehensive cross-border trade development program covering the period 2026–2027. Implementation of this program is intended to strengthen interregional ties and increase trade turnover.
Promising projects for business
According to Zhetigenov, the Issyk-Kul international airport opens up additional opportunities for tourism and business contacts. The presidential representative also invited Kazakh entrepreneurs to consider participating in joint projects, including on the territory of the Tamchy special industrial zone.
