President of Kyrgyzstan signs decree on consulate general in Andijan

The consular district of the new mission will cover three regions of Uzbekistan: Andijan, Fergana, and Namangan. The decree is numbered 373.

According to the text of the document, the consulate general is being established to protect the rights and legitimate interests of Kyrgyz citizens and provide them with consular services. Its objectives also include creating favorable conditions and expanding economic and cultural cooperation between the two countries.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan has been instructed to resolve organizational and financial matters related to opening the mission and to bring regulatory legal acts into alignment with the decree.

Japarov announced the intention to open a consulate general in Andijan in July 2026, when President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev was in Kyrgyzstan on a state visit. According to the Kyrgyz leader, this decision will ensure more favorable conditions for citizens' travel, trade, tourism, cultural and humanitarian ties, and the development of border regions.
