It is planned to use the potential of migrants for the development of the country in Kyrgyzstan. Almaz Asanov, head of the Migration Policy Division of the Foreign Migration Department of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, announced at a round table.

He reminded that the department has developed a draft concept of migration policy, which was approved by the government in May.

«An action plan has been developed with the help of experts, international organizations for the first stage until 2025. It is undergoing interdepartmental coordination,» the official said and added that in general, the plan is aimed at attracting the potential of migrants.

«The emphasis is placed on the development of financial and legal literacy of migrants, how to manage money, where to invest, how to develop small and medium-sized businesses,» Almaz Asanov told.
