Kyrgyzstan does not support sanctions against Russia, the First Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Adylbek Kasymaliev said on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The media of the Russian Federation report.
Adylbek Kasymaliev spoke with a representative of «Vzglyad na Vostok» Telegram channel and explained that the share of American and European trade and investment in the Kyrgyz economy is so meager that even the imposition of secondary sanctions would not affect the republic. Russia remains the main trading partner.
«Last year we increased trade turnover by 40 percent. In the year that has begun, we are going to further increase trade, which allows us to ensure both energy and food security in the region. We will continue to develop relations with fraternal Russia. There will be no obstacles for Russian business in Kyrgyzstan, except for competition. We will cooperate in all formats,» Adylbek Kasymaliev said.
