Kyrgyzstan’s Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliev and EU Special Representative for Central Asia Eduards Stiprais discussed expanding energy projects and deepening bilateral and regional cooperation in the region.
Kyrgyzstan and the European Union held a constructive meeting to strengthen cooperation in energy and regional development. Adylbek Kasymaliev, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan and Head of the Presidential Administration, met with Eduards Stiprais, the EU’s Special Representative for Central Asia.
The discussion covered a broad spectrum of issues focused on enhancing collaboration between Kyrgyzstan and the EU at both bilateral and regional levels. Kasymaliev emphasized that the EU remains a trusted and vital partner supporting a range of socio-economic initiatives in Kyrgyzstan.
The two sides highlighted the importance of the recent Central Asia - European Union summit held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, which reaffirmed a mutual commitment to deepening cooperation in trade, infrastructure, investment, and digital transformation.
Energy development was a key topic, with Kasymaliev outlining plans to construct around 100 small and medium-sized hydropower plants, alongside efforts to boost solar and wind energy technologies. This reflects Kyrgyzstan’s ambition to expand its renewable energy potential.
Stiprais congratulated Kasymaliev on the historic border agreements with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, calling these significant steps toward regional stability and stronger neighborly relations.
He also expressed the EU’s readiness to support Kyrgyzstan’s initiatives in water and energy resource conservation, climate change adaptation, societal preparedness for environmental challenges, and the expanded use of renewable energy sources.
This meeting underscores the growing partnership between Kyrgyzstan and the EU, centered on sustainable energy development and regional cooperation.
