BISHKEK (Itar-Tass) - The 12th meeting of the
Kyrgyz-Russian intergovernmental commission on trade, economic,
scientific, technological and cultural cooperation will be held here on
Thursday, the press service of the government of Kyrgyzstan told Itar-Tass.
The Russian delegation is led by head of the Federal Customs Service
Andrei Belyaninov, and the Kyrgyz - by First Deputy Prime Minister Omurbek
Babanov. "The final agenda for the meeting is still under discussion at the expert level," the press-service noted, "but the development of
economic partnership will be the centrepiece." The meeting is expected to be attended by "members of the Kyrgyz and Russian parts of the commission," as well as workers of relevant ministries, departments and organisations."
Babanov has recently visited Moscow on the instruction of the republic's Prime Minister Almazbek Atambayev. According to the press service, he first deputy prime minister of Kyrgyzstan visited the capital of Russia, "for negotiations on the deliveries of jet fuel" to the republic.
Babanov also discussed with RF Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin issues "of the development of trade and economic relations" between the two countries, in particular, in the sphere of hydraulic power industry.
Several years ago, the trade turnover between Kyrgyzstan and Russia
exceeded 1 billion US dollars. The sides currently consider the
possibility of participation of Russia's Gazprom natural gas monopoly in the prospecting and possible production of hydrocarbons in the republic's south, as well as in the construction of the large hydropower plant
KambarAta-1 on the Naryn River. It is not excluded that Russia could be involved in supplying fuel for the Transit Centre of the international antiterrorist coalition located at Bishkek airport. Several companies had earlier been engaged in the supply of jet fuel for it. On Tuesday, a Kyrgyz-American agreement was signed under which Bishkek won the right to supply 50 percent of fuel for the Transit Centre and the possibility to choose contractors for it.
