According to it, the parties discussed in detail the priority areas of Kyrgyzstan — Russia cooperation, as well as further deepening of the inter-parliamentary dialogue.
In particular, an exchange of views took place on developing trade and economic relations, monitoring the fulfillment of mutual obligations within the EAEU, avoiding unjustified restrictions for citizens of the union member countries and providing legal benefits to Kyrgyz migrants.
Touching upon the migration situation, Ulan Primov drew special attention to the increasing number of cases of denial of entry to the Russian Federation for citizens of Kyrgyzstan and lengthy verification procedures in the border control zones of Russian airports.
