Kyrgyz Republic hosts 3rd Central Asia Inter-Parliamentary Forum

The legislation of the Central Asian countries in the field of AI and digitalization should be harmonized. It is important that they are based on similar principles and approaches, stated Maulen Ashimbayev, Chairman of the Senate, the Upper House of the Kazakh Parliament, at the third Central Asian Inter-Parliamentary Forum in Bishkek. Ashimbayev emphasized the need to strengthen the legislative framework to expand trade and economic ties among the countries. According to him, holding the forum is not only a symbol of the development of inter-parliamentary relations, but also a tribute to history, fraternal bonds, and a shared aspiration for the future.


«If the first forum laid the foundation for the parliamentary dimension of integration, and the second expanded its agenda, then the third forum demonstrates that we are moving toward more concrete and substantive work. The heads of our states have set a high standard for cooperation and partnership in the Central Asian region. Our key task as parliamentarians is to contribute to the effective implementation of all agreements reached by the Presidents,» Ashimbayev said.

 

Members of the Kazakh delegation, led by the Speaker of the Senate, also participated in the ninth Kazakh-Kyrgyz intelligentsia forum. The participants emphasized the importance of preserving cultural heritage and literary works in the digital space. In addition, a bilateral meeting was held between Maulen Ashimbayev and the Chairman of the Jogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic, during which the parties discussed the current state and future prospects of interparliamentary cooperation between the two countries.
