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.
