Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz announced in Bishkek that Türkiye and Kyrgyzstan signed a new 77-item action plan to expand cooperation in trade, energy, industry, transportation, agriculture, culture, and tourism. He emphasized that Turkish contractors have already completed 95 projects in Kyrgyzstan worth nearly $1 billion.
Yılmaz said the two countries aim to raise bilateral trade to $2 billion in the short term and $5 billion in the medium term. He highlighted plans for joint industrial parks, renewable energy projects, e-government development, and water management initiatives, while stressing that water will be a key strategic resource in the future.
Türkiye is Kyrgyzstan’s 5th largest investor, with over 2,000 Turkish companies and $2 billion in investments. Yılmaz said new cooperation channels will strengthen economic ties and reflect the “brotherhood” between the two nations.
