With a mutual objective of hitting $5 billion in the near future, the leaders reaffirmed their dedication to growing the amount of bilateral trade, which was close to $2 billion last year.
The strategic collaboration between Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been strengthened by the signing of 19 agreements in important fields like security, energy, education, health, and culture.
During his visit to the Kyrgyz city of Bishkek, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized the extensive talks he had with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov. The two leaders toasted an important milestone in their cooperation and conducted a thorough review of bilateral relations.
“We have raised our strategic partnership, established in 2011, to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership that befits our brotherhood,” Erdogan said.
With a mutual objective of hitting $5 billion soon, both presidents emphasized their dedication to growing the amount of bilateral trade, which was close to $2 billion last year.
In light of continued Turkish assistance for Kyrgyzstan’s growth, Erdogan emphasized that Turkey is among the top five nations investing in Kyrgyzstan.
“With unwavering determination, we will continue to work to improve the well-being of our Kyrgyz brothers and sisters through TIKA and other pertinent institutions,” he stated.
Calling for Turkic unity
The program also focused heavily on regional issues, including the humanitarian situation in Gaza and more general problems in Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territory. In reaction to what he called the “human tragedy unfolding in Gaza,” Erdogan urged the Turkic world to adopt a united front.
In response to the violence affecting the area, he called for a “strong stance.”
In a show of appreciation and respect for one another, President Japarov gave Erdogan the Manas Order, one of Kyrgyzstan’s greatest accolades.
“I accept the Manas Order with great pride as an enduring symbol of the eternal brotherhood between our countries,” Erdogan said in a statement expressing gratitude.
He referred to Kyrgyzstan as his “ancestral homeland” and said the accolade was an appropriate way to end his official tour there.
