President Zardari, who is on a four-day official visit to Kyrgyzstan, highlighted the need to further deepen cooperation by increasing trade, improving connectivity through more direct flights and exploring new avenues of collaboration.
This is the first visit by a Pakistani president to the Kyrgyz Republic in 21 years, marking a historic milestone in the bilateral relationship.

He also congratulated Kyrgyzstan on its election as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the period 2027-2028, describing it as a reflection of the international community’s confidence in the country’s constructive role in promoting peace, security and multilateral cooperation.
President Zardari said Pakistan looks forward to working closely with Kyrgyzstan on regional and international issues. He highlighted the historical ties between the two countries through the ancient Silk Road and expressed confidence that the long-standing relationship can be further strengthened.
He said Pakistan is interested in expanding trade by supplying quality products to Kyrgyzstan at competitive prices and called for greater cooperation in industry, research, innovation and modern technology.
He stressed the importance of investing in the younger generation and creating a peaceful and prosperous future through joint efforts.
On the occasion, President Sadyr Japarov said that Kyrgyzstan attaches great importance to its brotherly relations with Pakistan and is committed to taking bilateral relations to new heights.
He reaffirmed his country’s determination to implement the CASA-1000 project and improve cooperation in the energy sector.
President Japarov also said the two countries would expand collaboration in agriculture, textiles, mines and minerals, halal industry, healthcare, information technology, science, education and tourism.
Pakistan and the Kyrgyz Republic enjoy warm and brotherly relations, anchored in shared history, faith, culture and common aspirations for peace, connectivity and prosperity in Central and South Asia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday.
