Bishkek, Nov. 9, 2026 /Kabar/. President Sadyr Zhaparov has instructed that the possibility of including the installation of engineering barriers along the Kyrgyz-Kazakh section of the state border in the 2027 work plan be considered.

During the meeting with Kemin, Tokmok residents, the chairman of the Kichi-Kemin village Council in the Kemin district raised the issue regarding the absence of engineering barriers along the Kyrgyz-Kazakh section of the state border.

Kazakhstan has already installed such engineering barriers, the Kyrgyz side has not yet completed this work, though fencing is already in place in certain areas.

According to the representative, the lack of fencing sometimes allows livestock belonging to local residents to cross into the territory of the neighboring state. In such instances, the animals are returned to Kyrgyzstan in accordance with established protocols for cooperation between the border services of the two countries.

The representative also noted that the installation of engineering barriers is included in the plans for both the Kyrgyz-Kazakh and Kyrgyz-Uzbek sections of the state border.

It was also noted that the completion of work along the Kyrgyz-Uzbek section is expected next year. The head of state instructed that the possibility of including the Kyrgyz-Kazakh section in the 2027 work plan be considered, emphasizing the need for fencing to be installed on the Kyrgyz side as well.
