# Pakistan Looks to Enhance Trade Volume with Kyrgyzstan

**Islamabad (TDI):** Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Power Division and Energy, Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari, said that Pakistan’s trade and economic relations with Kyrgyzstan will continue to serve as a foundation of strong bilateral partnership.

He was addressing at 5th Session of the Pakistan-Kyrgyzstan Inter-Governmental Commission, where he welcomed Kyrgyz Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Baisalov Edil Zholdybaevich, alongside other delegates from Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan.

Addressing the participants, the minister also expressed concern that the bilateral trade volume has declined significantly, from USD 11.2 million in 2022-23 to USD 5.18 million in 2024.25, adding: “We acknowledge the pressing need to revitalize our trade engagement and reaffirm our shared aspiration to elevate bilateral trade upto USD 100 million.”

The minister also noted that under the framework of Inter-Governmental Commission, cooperation between the two countries has expanded in trade and investment, tourism, agriculture, energy, science and technology, and education.

He also mentioned the revival of the Pakistan-Kyrgyz Joint Business Council (JBC), sustained B2B interactions, and the early finalization of key Memorandum of Understanding on Electronic Data Interchange between customs authorities, as essential steps forward.

He cited Kyrgyzstan’s offer of access to the At-Bashi Logistics Center for Pakistan’s National Logistics Corporation (NLC) as a commendable example of enterprise-level cooperation.

“Both Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan share a vision of green and sustainable development. We are aligned on exploring Pakistan’s participation in the proposed 500 kV Torugart–XUAR–Gilgit Baltistan transmission line, which would establish a strategic Kyrgyzstan–China–Pakistan electricity grid,” the minister noted.

In his concluding remarks, he said that the 5th Session of the Pakistan-Kyrgyzstan Inter-Governmental Commission offers a renewed opportunity to transform shared vision into enduring outcomes.
