Official Launch of the Second Phase of the Comprehensive Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Rep
On June 2, 2026, an official ceremony was held in Bishkek to launch the second phase of the Comprehensive Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Republic, jointly implemented by the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, KOICA, and Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic.
The event was attended by Mr. Rustam Baltabaev, Deputy Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic; H.E. Mr. Kim Kwangjae, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Korea to the Kyrgyz Republic; Ms. Lim Soyeon, Country Director of the KOICA Office in the Kyrgyz Republic; Mr. Cho Sunhaeng, Country Director of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic; as well as representatives of government agencies, international organizations, and partner institutions.
In their welcoming remarks, the distinguished guests emphasized the strategic importance of the Comprehensive Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Republic for the sustainable socio-economic development of the regions and highlighted the significance of further strengthening cooperation between the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Korea.
During the ceremony, the key achievements of the first phase of the project were presented, along with the main directions of the second phase, which will be implemented in Osh, Batken, and Jalal-Abad regions.
It should be noted that one day earlier, on June 1, 2026, the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), and Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic signed a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding for the implementation of the second phase of the Comprehensive Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Republic.
The new phase of the project aims to support farmers and agricultural cooperatives, develop the processing industry, modernize rural infrastructure, establish a logistics center, expand access to microfinance services, and introduce digital solutions in the agricultural sector.
Together, we continue our efforts to promote sustainable rural development, improve the well-being of rural communities, and strengthen the agro-industrial potential of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic is delighted to share wonderful news.
Salih Nozimov, one of the children participating in our program, has successfully completed his cancer treatment and overcome the disease. This marks an important milestone on his journey toward recovery and a healthy new chapter in life.
Over the next two to three years, Salih will remain under the regular supervision of his doctors. He will attend scheduled medical check-ups, undergo routine laboratory tests, and follow medical recommendations, including a special diet. These measures will help monitor his health and support his full recovery.
We sincerely express our gratitude to Dr. Zhanna Almazovna Kambarova, pediatric hematologist-oncologist at the National Center for Maternal and Child Welfare, for her professionalism, compassion, dedication, and invaluable contribution to Salih's treatment. Thanks to the tireless efforts of doctors and healthcare professionals, children are given the opportunity to enjoy a healthier future.
We warmly congratulate Salih and his family on this important milestone. We wish him good health, a joyful childhood, endless smiles, the fulfillment of his dreams, and a bright future ahead.
