Bishkek, Nov. 12, 2026. /Kabar/. Kyrgyzstan has created an opportunity for its citizens living and working abroad to make voluntary social security contributions. A special program has been developed and launched for this purpose. Baktiyar Aliyev, Chairman of the Social Fund told as part of the media project "Open Cabinet: Zone of Responsibility."
According to him, citizens abroad can register via the "Tunduk" application and make voluntary social security contributions.
Furthermore, Kyrgyzstan has entered into cooperation agreements regarding pension provision with several states, including China, Turkiye, and South Korea. Additionally, a relevant agreement was adopted in 2021 within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.
"As of today, we are in negotiations with more than 20 states. We have already finalized the draft agreement with Austria; all that remains is to sign the interstate document. Negotiations are also underway with Germany; our German counterparts are set to visit Kyrgyzstan in the spring of 2027," he stated.
The chairman noted that signing agreements with Austria and Germany will facilitate future cooperation negotiations with European nations such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and the Czech Republic. He also expressed confidence that this experience would serve as a foundation for concluding a similar agreement with the United States.
