The Kyrgyz foreign minister noted that while Bishkek strictly adheres to its international compliance obligations and maintains open regulatory channels with the EU to prevent sanctions evasion, the government views transparent, peer-to-peer economic partnerships as a more effective alternative to restrictive measures.
