Expert hails Kyrgyz President’s Russia visit

BISHKEK: President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov is on a visit to Russia. Many significant meetings have been held during the visit, and one of them was held with the Kyrgyz people living in the Russian Federation.
“My goal is to solve the existing problems of our people, provide jobs and a decent life for all citizens of Kyrgyzstan, as well as create favorable conditions for the return of compatriots working abroad to their homeland,” said President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov.
Zhaparov noted that he is making his first visit as head of state to the Russian Federation, since the countries are linked by a historical and cultural community, as well as long-standing friendly relations. He said that the common interests of the two countries affect political, trade and economic, cultural, humanitarian and many other areas.
The head of state spoke about the results of the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which the issues of Kyrgyz workers in Russia were also discussed. Sadyr Zhaparov noted the significant contribution of Kyrgyz citizens working abroad to the economic and social development of the country.
The president said that one of the main tasks of the state should be the protection of their interests and all-round support, stressing the need to strengthen work in this direction.
“This visit to Russia is generally of great importance. First of all, for the head of the Kyrgyz state himself. It is important to literally assert himself in the role of the leader of the country, the leader of the Kyrgyz people. This is first. Secondly, it is necessary to show an important ally, which is Russia, that the new government has not come to pursue its own interests, but is ready for real work. As for meeting with compatriots, they are extremely important. The main thing is to prove that Kyrgyzstan itself is ready to create the most profitable and comfortable working conditions for the local population. –PNP
