Bishkek, June 19, 2026. /Kabar/. At the VI Meeting of Energy Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Member States, Kyrgyzstan put forward an important initiative to establish a Regional Center for the Implementation of Energy-Efficient and Resource-Saving Technologies in Bishkek.
Kyrgyz Energy Minister Altynbek Rysbekov, in his interview with Kabar stated that this structure will become a unified platform for exchanging experience, training personnel, conducting research, and implementing modern technologies. Furthermore, the creation of the center will give a powerful impetus to the country's domestic policy.
