The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) of the Kyrgyz Republic, in collaboration with the World Trade Organization (WTO), has successfully concluded a comprehensive four-day trade negotiation training programme. Held from September 10 to 13, the initiative aimed to enhance Kyrgyzstan's export capabilities and support its sustainable economic growth.
Supported by the UNDP’s Aid for Trade project and the OSCE Programme Office in Bishkek, this capacity-building programme was designed to equip Kyrgyz trade representatives with critical skills and knowledge for effective global trade negotiations. The initiative highlights Kyrgyzstan’s commitment to aligning its trade policies with international standards and navigating the complexities of the global market.
“This educational programme provided Kyrgyz specialists with a thorough understanding of WTO principles and agreements, trade policy analysis, and negotiation strategies. It also offered valuable opportunities to refine their skills in concluding trade agreements,” said Nazarbek Malaev, Deputy Minister of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The training covered a wide range of topics, including WTO principles, trade policy analysis, and negotiation strategies. Participants engaged in practical case studies and interactive simulations to address technical barriers and ensure compliance with WTO rules. This hands-on approach is vital for positioning Kyrgyzstan as a competitive player in the global market.
UNDP reaffirmed its commitment to Kyrgyzstan’s development goals through this strategic partnership. “UNDP is dedicated to advancing Kyrgyzstan’s export potential by enhancing trade negotiation skills and promoting adherence to international trade standards. This training is a crucial component of our strategy to strengthen Kyrgyzstan’s global market integration and drive sustainable economic development,” said Alexandra Solovieva, UNDP Resident Representative in Kyrgyzstan.
