Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan intend to increase trade turnover between the countries. This became known today during the talks in an extended format in Dushanbe between Presidents of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbay Jeenbekov and Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, Kabar reports.

Jeenbekov stressed that concrete measures should be taken to intensify trade and economic cooperation and create favorable conditions for increasing the volume of trade between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

"In this regard, I propose that we instruct the governments of our countries to develop mechanisms for cooperation in export, import and re-export of goods, taking into account the membership of Kyrgyzstan in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and the status of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences + (GSP+), to establish cooperation between chambers of commerce and explore the possibility of creating Business Council between our republics. It is necessary to help business circles and economic entities of our countries in establishing contacts and concluding contracts," Jeenbekov said.

The Kyrgyz leader also suggested to conduct in near future a business forum with the participation of Tajik entrepreneurs in Bishkek.

In addition, to create the necessary conditions for mutual trips of citizens and the development of tourism, the Kyrgyz President suggested increasing the number of flights between the countries on Bishkek-Dushanbe-Bishkek route.
