Turkish-Kyrgyz Relations
Turkey was the first country to recognize the independence of Kyrgyzstan in 1992, and since then, both nations have developed a strong and multifaceted strategic partnership. The relationship spans political, economic, commercial, military, cultural, educational, health, and transportation domains.
Key documents, including the "Agreement on Eternal Friendship and Cooperation" signed in 1997 and the Declaration on "Türkiye and Kyrgyzstan: Together Towards the 21st Century," reflect the depth of the strategic partnership. The establishment of the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC) in 2012 further solidified the commitment to mutual collaboration.
