New opportunities for industrial cooperation, mutual trade, implementation of investment projects, and personnel training were discussed by representatives of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan at the I Forum of the regions of the two countries. The work is being attended by a delegation from the Mogilev region, headed by the chairman of the oblispolkom, Anatoly Isachenko. One of the main results of the forum for the Mogilev region was the signing of two documents that determine the further development of cooperation with the Naryn region and its administrative center.

For the Mogilev region, the forum was a continuation of the dialogue with Kyrgyz partners, which developed on the eve of the visit of the delegation from the Naryn region to the Mogilev region. The parties discussed the prospects for interaction between enterprises, the possibility of organizing joint productions, as well as cooperation in the educational and social spheres.

The intentions to develop the partnership were formalized at the interregional level. The chairman of the Mogilev oblispolkom, Anatoly Isachenko, and the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic in the Naryn region, Nurbek Satarov, signed an agreement on cooperation in the trade, economic, scientific, technical, and social spheres.

The document provides for the development of interaction between the regions in areas of mutual interest. This is not only about expanding trade ties but also about using the industrial, scientific, and educational potential of both sides.

At the same time, specific guidelines for further work were determined at the level of regional centers. The first deputy chairman of the Mogilev gorispolkom, Igor Bushlekov, and the deputy mayor of the city of Naryn, Elvira Turganbaeva, signed a roadmap for the development of cooperation between Mogilev and Naryn for 2027-2029. It covers the economy, trade, culture, education, and tourism.

The potential for cooperation is also being considered by free economic zones. For resident enterprises, this is an opportunity not only to find new partners but also to enter additional sales markets, establish technology and experience exchange, and in the future, start implementing joint investment projects.

The head of the administration of the SEZ "Mogilev" Pavel Marinenko is convinced that it is interregional connections that can give an additional impetus to the development of economic interaction between the two countries. Of particular interest to the Mogilev side is cooperation with the free economic zone "Naryn", which is actively developing its own investment projects.

I am deeply convinced that much of what is happening lies in the sphere of interregional interaction. And today we are taking a new step in the development of cooperation between the Mogilev region and the Naryn region. For us, as a business development institution, interaction with the SEZ "Naryn" is very interesting. This is our partner, which is actively developing and implementing quite interesting projects, taking into account its geographical location, noted Pavel Marinenko.

In particular, Kyrgyz partners are using the natural and climatic features of the region to develop data processing centers. In the opinion of the head of the SEZ "Mogilev", such experience is of interest from the point of view of new areas of investment activity. At the same time, cooperation between economic zones can be significantly broader and include the exchange of experience between residents, the development of production ties, and mutual supplies of products.

We want to build quality relationships, first of all, in terms of exchanging experience between our residents, exchanging products. Today, we have opportunities for implementing projects not only in a bilateral, but also in a trilateral format with the participation of other countries of the common economic space. This will allow us to attract additional resources for their implementation, he emphasized.

Pavel Marinenko paid special attention to the possibility of using the geographical and economic advantages of partners. Kyrgyzstan's proximity to China, its connections with the states of Central Asia, as well as the position of the Mogilev region and the developed cooperation with the Russian Federation open up prospects for creating new production chains.

According to him, the task is to identify mutual benefits, combine the available resources, and on this basis organize the production of products that are in demand not only on the Belarusian and Kyrgyz markets, but also in other countries.
