Bishkek, Nov. 3, 2026 /Kabar/. Kyrgyzstan and Georgia intend to step up cooperation in the fields of economy, energy, logistics, tourism, and investment. Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh (Parliament of Kyrgyzstan), Marlen Mamataliev spoke with Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, who is in Kyrgyzstan on official visit.
According to the parliamentary press service, Marlen Mamataliev noted that the current level of trade turnover does not reflect the full potential between the two nations. He emphasized the need to expand collaboration in energy, agriculture, the processing industry, and pharmaceuticals, as well as to implement joint investment projects.
The two sides also discussed exchanging expertise in transit, logistics, the digitalization of public services, and tourism. As a practical step, it was proposed to intensify the work of relevant parliamentary committees and inter-parliamentary friendship groups, as well as to strengthen cooperation within international forums.
Furthermore, Mamataliev suggested considering the simplification of visa requirements, given the growing number of Kyrgyz citizens wishing to visit Georgia. He also advocated for organizing "culture days" for both nations and fostering ties between their respective regions.
In turn, Shalva Papuashvili highlighted the potential for joint investment projects in logistics and energy, including those utilizing the transport corridors of the Silk Road. He also noted the interest among the Georgian public in the tourism opportunities offered by Kyrgyzstan.
