Earlier, In another interview with Birinchi Radio station of the Public Broadcasting Corporation on Aug. 8, President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbay Jeenbekov focused on national projects for regional development.
Jeenbekov noted he is familiar with the problems of villages: lack of money and opportunities for local authorities to create conditions for comfortable life in the regions and jobs, which makes people leave for big cities and regional centers of Kyrgyzstan, as well as to foreign countries.
“We always say that 70% of the population lives in rural areas. But in fact, many have left the villages. We must create conditions for them to return to their native village, or at least make sure that the younger generation, the youth stay there, can live and earn money on their native land. What should be done for this? It is necessary to direct the funds of the state for this purpose. Today, all opportunities of the state, the budget, funds such as the Kyrgyz-Russian Fund, as well as funds raised from outside go to the regions”, Jeenbekov stressed.
Another important project is to provide 822 villages in all regions of the country with clean water by 2024.
