President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov made a speech at the 16th summit of the heads of the member states of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) in Tashkent. The press service of the President reported.
Sadyr Japarov noted that regional and interregional integration on the basis of common economic interests is a key element of the vision of the future. He outlined the main directions of development of cooperation in this format:
- Trade sphere: the volume of trade is growing, but the role of ECO in the system of regional economic and economic ties does not yet correspond to the available potential;
- Transport and logistics: the region can act as a key bridge between North and South, West and East, therefore it is necessary to develop transport and logistics corridors, multimodal transportation and to implement the project on construction of China — Kyrgyzstan — Uzbekistan railroad;
- Ensuring energy security: expanding the geography of energy supplies can play an important role in ensuring energy security in the region;
- Information and communication technologies: Kyrgyzstan invites IT companies from ECO member countries to cooperate and develop joint information products in the High Technology Park of Kyrgyzstan.
