BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 14. Kyrgyz Foreign
Minister Jeenbek Kulubaev and Bangladesh Deputy Foreign Minister
Asad Alam Siam have discussed ways to expand bilateral trade and
economic cooperation.
This was reflected in a press release published by the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan following their meeting in
Bishkek.
During the meeting, the sides reviewed the current state and
prospects of bilateral cooperation. Kulubaev highlighted the high
level of political dialogue between the two countries and
emphasized the need to further develop practical cooperation.
The discussions focused on expanding trade and economic ties,
intensifying cultural and humanitarian contacts, and strengthening
the legal framework governing bilateral relations.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh is seeking to expand its diplomatic and
economic engagement with Central Asia as part of efforts to
diversify its foreign relations beyond its immediate South Asian
neighbourhood. In October 2026, Bangladesh’s State Minister for
Foreign Affairs Humaiun Kobir described Central Asia as a new area
of focus for the country’s foreign policy, citing opportunities for
broader political, economic and strategic cooperation. Dhaka has
also emphasized stronger links between South and Central Asia
through trade, investment and transport connectivity.
