Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan have reached a draft agreement that will allow citizens of both countries to receive pensions based on a single social insurance contribution, according to official statements from the Pension Fund of Uzbekistan and the Social Fund of Kyrgyzstan.
The agreement was discussed during a meeting in Tashkent between the leadership of the Pension Fund of Uzbekistan and representatives of Kyrgyzstan’s Social Fund. The sides reviewed the current pension systems, key reforms, and priorities for improving social protection mechanisms in both countries.
The draft agreement on state social insurance and pension provision, along with an administrative agreement for its implementation, outlines several key provisions:
- Accumulation of insurance experience in both countries for pension eligibility.
- Direct payment of pensions to citizens regardless of their place of residence, without deductions for delivery costs.
- Unified standards for business trips and extensions, aimed at preventing double contributions.
The primary goal of the agreement is to guarantee equal rights for Uzbek and Kyrgyz citizens in accessing insurance and state pensions, while also eliminating the need for duplicate insurance payments.
Officials noted that the agreement will strengthen bilateral cooperation in the field of social protection and provide more secure retirement benefits for citizens working across borders.
