Bishkek, April 29, 2026 /Kabar/. "You have become the first head of state from the African continent to pay an official visit to Kyrgyzstan. This is undoubtedly an important historic event for both our countries," President Sadyr Zhaparov said at the meeting with Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Togolese Republic Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé at Yntymak Ordo Palace.
According to the head of state, diplomatic relations between Kyrgyzstan and Togo were established in 2015, but contacts have been inactive since then.
"We are determined to take concrete steps to strengthen the bonds of friendship between our peoples. I am confident that your current visit will create a solid foundation for developing political dialogue and expanding bilateral cooperation," said Sadyr Zhaparov.
