Kyrgyzstan at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is embracing the opportunities of the East with open arms. At the recent China Kyrgyzstan Investment Forum, Kyrgyzstan took the initiative to extend an olive branch for cooperation, from wind and solar new energy to industrial manufacturing, infrastructure, culture and tourism, hoping to leverage Chinese technology and capital to revitalize the industrial landscape of Central Asia.

Kyrgyzstan actively seeks cooperation with China

On August 28, 2026, Kyrgyzstan released a clear signal of cooperation, planning to introduce Chinese technology and capital to empower the country's renewable energy, industrial manufacturing, agricultural product processing, infrastructure construction, and cultural tourism industry development. The statement was officially made by Uruk Kaderbaev, the head of the Secretariat of the Kyrgyzstan Business Development and Investment Committee, in a media interview at the Kyrgyzstan China Investment Forum.

Focus on key cooperation in new energy

According to Kederbayev, the energy industry is currently a key development area in Kyrgyzstan, with photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation as the core driving forces. He stated that the world is currently facing difficulties in ensuring power supply, and the development level of China's wind and solar power generation industry ranks among the top in the world, with a national power generation capacity of up to 11 trillion kilowatt hours by 2025. He believes that the cooperation between China and Kyrgyzstan in new energy has steadily landed, and the scale and depth of future cooperation will continue to increase.

Expand the track of cooperation in multiple fields

Kederbayev also mentioned China's strong industrial strength, with a production of 16.5 million electric vehicles in 2024, demonstrating strong industrial manufacturing capabilities. He emphasized that Kyrgyzstan warmly welcomes Chinese investors to settle in and supports the establishment of joint ventures between Chinese enterprises and local enterprises. Industrial production and deep processing of agricultural products are two high-quality cooperation tracks.

The implementation of high-quality cooperation projects can not only help the development of the country, but also radiate and drive the whole region, and help the deepening and implementation of China Kyrgyzstan practical cooperation under the framework of the the Belt and Road Initiative.Editor/Gong Ziwei
