Bishkek, Feb. 5, 2026 /Kabar/. B5+1 "Central Asia - USA" Business Forum concluded in Bishkek today. Deputy Minister of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic Benazir Nurlanova spoke at the forum's closing plenary session.
Speaking about the forum's representation, the Deputy Minister reported that approximately 400 people, representing 211 companies and organizations, participated in the business forum. It is particularly important that these included leading and innovative companies developing new solutions, new markets, and new formats of interaction.

She emphasized that such a broad representation once again confirms the high interest in expanding practical business interactions.
"Together with our American partners and the CIPE organization, we have gone through a significant process of preparation for these days of the forum. From the very beginning, our goal was to ensure that the meeting's results speak for themselves, so that participants would leave not only with impressions but also with new contacts, ideas, and agreements that will be further developed. And judging by the active discussions and the number of meetings held, this goal was achieved," the Deputy Minister noted.
According to her, the next important step is to translate the decisions and initiatives discussed at the forum into concrete actions and long-term cooperation.
"We, for our part, are open to such interaction and ready to expand our partnership, and our country has every opportunity to successfully implement joint initiatives. We are ready to create favorable conditions for business, support new projects, and be a reliable partner for companies operating in our region," concluded Benazir Nurlanova.
