BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, February 13. The Emirates Investment Agency expressed interest in developing bilateral cooperation and confirmed its readiness for further dialogue and the development of specific investment projects and initiatives with Kyrgyzstan, Trend reports via the press service of the Kyrgyz Cabinet of Ministers.

This issue was raised during a meeting between Mohamed Hamad Al-Mehairi, Director General of the Emirates Investment Agency, and Adylbek Kasymaliyev, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration of Kyrgyzstan, on the sidelines of the World Government Summit.

During the meeting, the parties explored the potential for further enhancing bilateral cooperation.

The Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers underscored Kyrgyzstan's keen interest in establishing direct contacts with the sovereign fund and expressed the country’s willingness to provide detailed information on large-scale projects being executed across various sectors.

"Our nation is currently undergoing a historic transformation, and we place a high priority on forging partnerships with major global institutions. Strategically located at the crossroads of China and Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan is deeply integrated into the broader Eurasian economic landscape. Our ambition is to position Kyrgyzstan as a central hub for production, logistics, and energy flows along the China–Central Asia–Middle East corridor. In this regard, Kyrgyzstan offers vast investment opportunities for the Emirates Investment Authority, particularly in areas such as transportation and logistics infrastructure, energy, natural resources, telecommunications and digital infrastructure, as well as food security and agribusiness," he stated.

Adylbek Kasymaliev also highlighted the country’s economic indicators, noting that Kyrgyzstan’s economy has demonstrated steady growth over the past four years, with GDP growth reaching 11% in 2025. He added that the improvement of Kyrgyzstan’s sovereign credit ratings, along with increased tax and customs revenues, reflects effective economic management and reduced risks for investors.

"We are open to jointly structuring investments, attracting capital into projects, and forming long-term partnerships," he said.

Furthermore, Adylbek Kasymaliev invited the leadership of the Emirates Investment Authority to participate in the GCC–Central Asia Cooperation Council Investment Forum, which will be held in Bishkek in April this year.
