Kyrgyzstan has managed to accelerate its economic growth by making prompt decisions that meet the needs of citizens and businesses, former Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Akylbek Japarov said at the Kyrgyz-Russian Economic Forum in Issyk-Kul region. According to him, the forum has become a tradition and serves as a platform for discussing cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and Russia. The former head of the Cabinet noted that the two countries share long-standing historical, political and economic ties. In Japarov’s view, one of the main reasons behind Kyrgyzstan’s strong economic growth has been the government’s ability to make, within a short period, the decisions needed by citizens and entrepreneurs. Akylbek Japarov also said he intends to discuss Kyrgyzstan’s experience in implementing economic reforms with Russian colleagues.
