Bishkek, Sept 24, 2025. /Kabar/. You ask us not to cooperate with Russia, but you cooperate extensively, President Sadyr Zhaparov noted this on September 23, speaking at the General Debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
The head of state said that he supports the actions and decisions of US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
"We are interested in this! Because we are also suffering from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
However, we cannot sacrifice the interests of our citizens and the economic development of the country! You demand that we should not cooperate with Russia, but you cooperate extensively.
We have many more economic ties with Russia than you do. Therefore, we cannot do without cooperation with Russia in economic terms. We do not want to confront others. We cooperate with almost all countries and pursue a multi-vector policy, he said.
