Kyrgyzstan and TİKA strengthen cooperation in social and economic development

Kyrgyz President Sadyr Caparov met with Abdullah Eren, President of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA), in Bishkek to discuss strengthening bilateral cooperation in social, economic, and humanitarian sectors.

President Caparov highlighted that since 1991, TİKA has implemented 1,300 projects in Kyrgyzstan with a total cost of $83 million, covering areas such as health, education, agriculture, energy, and culture. The President identified priority areas for future collaboration, including improving agricultural laboratory infrastructure, vocational training, green energy expertise, and increasing access to healthcare and small-scale hydroelectric power in remote mountainous regions.

As part of these ongoing efforts, a new Technopreneurship Center and Digital Library were inaugurated at Kuseyin Karasayev Social Sciences University in Bishkek. The project, supported by TİKA, aims to enhance access to technology and digital resources for students and young educators.
