This partnership has been in place since 2007 and is part of the foreign trade promotion instrument of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. Over the past 19 years, 458 Kyrgyz entrepreneurs have used the programme to explore the German market, establish contacts with German companies, and build long-term economic cooperation. Both countries have particularly benefited from the partnership in the areas of agricultural modernisation, green transformation, climate action, and healthcare, and German technologies and expertise are significantly contributing to Kyrgyzstan’s socio-economic development.
