Bishkek, Oct. 2, 2026. /Kabar/. Adylbek Kasymaliev, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration of the Kyrgyz Republic, participated in the international industrial exhibition "Innoprom. Belarus 2026" in Minsk, the Cabinet of Ministers' press service reported.
During his working visit to Belarus, Kasymaliev, along with the heads of government of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states, and the heads of delegations from observer and invited countries, toured the exhibition.
"Innoprom. Belarus" brings together representatives from various industries, innovative companies, investors, and government agencies. Over the course of three days, 20 business events were organized as part of the exhibition, attended by over 14,000 people.
A national stand of Kyrgyzstan also covered an area of over 20,000 square meters, featuring products from 12 domestic companies operating in the industrial sector.
Adylbek Kasymaliev then spoke at the plenary session "Production and Technological Cooperation: A Mutually Complementary Partnership," dedicated to the development of industrial cooperation.
He noted the importance of developing joint ventures within the EAEU and spoke about major regional projects being implemented by Kyrgyzstan.
The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway will open a new southern corridor for the union. "We are jointly building the Kambar-Ata Hydroelectric Power Station-1 with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Such projects create significant demand for machinery and electrical equipment, and we want a significant portion of this to be manufactured in the union's member states," the head of the Cabinet said.
Kasymaliev also noted the long-standing industrial ties between Kyrgyzstan and Belarus.
"A joint plant for the production of substations using Belarusian technology has opened in Bishkek. This example demonstrates that the economies of the two countries complement each other. "Our partners bring technology and industrial experience, and Kyrgyzstan offers growing demand, production facilities, and a skilled workforce," he said.
According to him, Kyrgyzstan and its partners can develop production for the EAEU and Central Asian markets in five key areas: mechanical engineering, electrical equipment, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and light industry.
Speaking about Kyrgyzstan's economic performance, Adylbek Kasymaliev reported that industrial production has more than doubled over the past five years, from $4.024 billion in 2021 to $9.14 billion in 2025.
Over the past three years, 287 industrial enterprises worth a total of $2 billion have been launched in Kyrgyzstan, creating approximately 21,000 jobs. Another 47 enterprises are expected to launch by the end of 2026.
Kasymaliev emphasized that Kyrgyzstan is pursuing a consistent policy to improve the investment climate and create favorable conditions for doing business. For major projects, an investment agreement with the Cabinet of Ministers is required, including guarantees and special conditions.
The heads of government of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Russia, as well as the head of the Nicaraguan delegation, also participated in the plenary session. They discussed the potential for industrial cooperation and the development of production capacities focused on the markets of EAEU member states.
Following this, the participants noted that the exhibition facilitates the expansion of business ties and the development of new practical initiatives to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation between EAEU member states.
