Bishkek, Oct. 20, 2025. /Kabar/. A briefing was held today at the Jannat Regency Hotel in Bishkek, focusing on the outcomes of the Global Women Leaders Summit and the growing role of women in fostering friendship and cooperation between China and Kyrgyzstan. The event was organized by the Congress of Women of Kyrgyzstan.
The delegation from the Kyrgyz Republic, led by Zamira Akbagysheva, President of the Congress of Women of the Kyrgyz Republic, participated in the Global Summit of Women Leaders held in Beijing on October 13-14.
Among the speakers were Liu Jiangping, Chinese Ambassor to the Kyrgyz Republic; Zamira Akbagysheva, President of the Congress of Women; Antje Grawe, UN Resident Coordinator in Kyrgyzstan; Sadiq Sayed, UN Women Representative in Kyrgyzstan; ex-ambassador of Kyrgyzstan to China Kanayim Baktygulova, among other delegates.
The 2025 summit marked the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Beijing Conference, a milestone that prompted global reflection on the progress of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The event, organized by the Chinese government in cooperation with UN Women, brought together around 800 delegates from over 110 countries and international organizations.
China announced new financial commitments totaling $110 million, including $10 million for UN Women and $100 million for the China–Global South Partnership Fund. The new report “Beijing+30: A Roadmap for Women’s Rights for the Next Thirty Years” outlined key global priorities for the coming decades — democracy and human rights, technology, economic participation, and responses to climate and conflict-related risks.
Participants reaffirmed their determination to accelerate the implementation of the 1995 Platform for Action, focusing on women’s economic inclusion, participation in decision-making, and reducing unpaid care work. The summit also emphasized the need to “localize” the Beijing goals by engaging regional and municipal authorities.
Zamira Akbagysheva, speaking at the event, stated: “We firmly believe: when women are strong — nations are strong; and when women unite — the world becomes more just, peaceful, and sustainable.”
The discussion also highlighted the continued leadership of President Xi Jinping, who initiated the SCO Women’s Forum and has consistently supported global peace and stability. China continues to allocate funding to promote women’s and children’s health, provide education for girls from low-income families, and support professional training for women in developing countries.
In Kyrgyzstan, the Congress of Women implements the project “Educated Woman — Educated Nation” in partnership with the All-China Women’s Federation and the Embassy of China. The project offers free courses in ICT, business planning, and public speaking. More than 53,000 women have received business training, and over 10,000 have studied ICT and foreign languages. A jointly established Sewing Training Center has shown outstanding results, and the Chinese Federation has provided 83 laptops for the “Digitalization of Rural Women” initiative.
The Kyrgyz government has also adopted a National Gender Equality Strategy until 2030, integrating gender-sensitive indicators into state programs and ensuring consistent financing of women’s empowerment measures.
Since 2021, the National Program for the Support and Development of Women’s Entrepreneurship (2022–2026) has been in force, complemented by UN-funded educational and training projects aimed at strengthening women’s economic participation and leadership.
