Our countries also provide 38 percent of the world's agricultural production.'

Stating that the trade volume between Kyrgyzstan and SCO countries has more than doubled in the last four years, Amangeldiyev proposed focusing on areas such as digital trade, green energy, transportation, logistics, and infrastructure for sustainable development.
